À propos
Java is one of the world's oldest coffee-producing islands, where the Dutch East India Company first established commercial coffee plantations in the late 17th century, giving rise to the term 'java' as slang for coffee. Today, five government-owned estates on the Ijen Plateau in eastern Java continue the tradition, producing washed Arabica with a distinctly clean, smooth character. Java coffees differ markedly from Sumatran styles, offering a refined body, bright but balanced acidity, and flavors of dark chocolate, spice, and subtle herbs. The island also produces significant Robusta at lower elevations. Java's estate system and washed processing create one of Indonesia's most consistent and elegant coffee profiles.
