Java

Java is one of the earliest Arabica cultivars, descending from the original Typica trees planted in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial era. The variety later spread to Cameroon and other African countries, where a selection known as 'Java' was developed and distributed. Java produces a clean cup with moderate acidity, herbal undertones, and a sweet finish, reflecting its Typica heritage.

Susceptible to coffee leaf rust as a Typica-derived Arabica; the 1869 rust epidemic devastated original Java plantations. Modern Java selections in Cameroon are managed with fungicides; some lines may have modest local tolerance.
