Notes from our
Master Importer
Java is famous for its
smooth
body yet has a remarkable brightness
which balances the cup. You will
notice the deep feel, with just a
hint earthiness in the cup, and a
striking bittersweet chocolate
finish. At
a medium dark roast it is very
compelling.
The Dutch
first brought Arabica coffee trees
to the Indonesian islands in the
mid-17th century, known then as the
Netherlands Indies. Cultivation
proved so successful that "Java" was
exported globally and hence "Java"
became a synonym for all types of
coffee.
The third largest coffee exporter,
Indonesia is also the world's
largest exporter of the less
desirable Robusta coffee beans –
popular in the blending of
commercial supermarket coffees.
Currently, Java's production of the
preferred Arabica coffee beans
accounts for only 10% of total
production.
Java's government regulates the
export of coffee and forbids Robusta
beans to be sold as Java coffee –
only premium Arabica beans can bear
the Java name. Strictly regulated,
the best Java beans are grown on a
few government-regulated farms,
plantations and estates. These
"estate" grown Java coffees are
unmatched for aromatic spiciness and
rich, smooth, and full-bodied
character.
