Why Choose Java Coffee?

Java has been producing coffee since the late 1600s, making it one of the oldest commercial coffee growing regions in the world. Today, the island produces exceptional Arabica coffees grown on fertile volcanic soils at high altitude.

Compared with many African coffees, Java coffee is generally lower in acidity and offers a fuller body, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy smooth, balanced coffees without excessive brightness.

Typical tasting notes include:

  • Dark chocolate
  • Cocoa
  • Spice
  • Cedar
  • Tobacco
  • Earthy sweetness
  • Brown sugar
  • Roasted nuts

Many Java coffees also develop a silky mouthfeel that makes them particularly enjoyable as espresso.

Java is one of Indonesia's largest coffee producing islands and has been cultivating coffee for over 300 years.

Most speciality coffee comes from higher altitude regions where fertile volcanic soils, tropical rainfall and cooler temperatures help develop slow maturing coffee cherries packed with flavour.

Many farms continue to use traditional growing and harvesting methods, with beans carefully processed before roasting to preserve their natural character.
