Java Coffee Bean Characteristics

The bitterness after roasting is its main flavor, with a very light aroma and no perceptible acidity. It is most commonly used in blended coffee or instant coffee.

Origin: Java Island, Indonesia!

Although Java Island occupies only 7% of Indonesia's area, it contains 35% of the country's population and was the first island in the Indonesian archipelago to be developed by Dutch enterprises. A coffee tragedy in the 1970s transformed Java Island's status in the hearts of coffee lovers. Local coffee farms collectively cut down all excellent Arabica coffee trees, which had lower yields and were susceptible to pests, replacing them with high-yield, easy-to-care-for Robusta beans. This move nearly caused the excellent coffee that was once popular worldwide to disappear from the earth. Today, only six state-owned farms owned and managed by the government still cultivate traditional Java excellent Arabica coffee trees. Thanks to these state-owned estates, we still have the opportunity to taste Java Arabica coffee, which is currently the only remaining variety with extremely limited production.

When it comes to Indonesian coffee, one cannot miss the premium Mandheling from Sumatra, with its unique rich aroma, slightly acidic taste, and world-class quality. Additionally, the Arabica coffee produced in Java is a favorite among Europeans, with its bitterness mixed with sweetness, and sweetness mixed with acidic aftertaste that lingers for a long time.

Java coffee beans are sometimes called Old Java. After the Old Government period, Java coffee guaranteed to be aged for at least ten years in tropical regions has become a household name. Old Java coffee already had a good reputation before 1915, as the coffee beans naturally released moisture during the long journey to New York, resulting in better evaluation when they arrived. Java beans have a special musty smell and rare light brown color.

Currently, the best Java coffee is produced in the Preanger, Cheribon, Buitenzorg, and Batava regions. Java coffee has a mature, delicate, and gentle flavor, with an almost imperceptible spicy aroma that is rich and mellow. After aging, it becomes even more aromatic, though aged Java is rare.

Java is the region outside coffee's native habitat that has cultivated coffee for the longest time. Coffee trees were introduced to Java from Malabar in 1699 under the persuasion of an Amsterdam mayor.

Coffee produced in the Celebes, Lombok Islands, Flores, and Timor regions of the Indonesian archipelago is also sold as Java coffee. These coffee beans are as good as Java beans, but fresh beans are small and not easy to purchase.

In areas below 3,500 feet in altitude, Arabica coffee has actually disappeared due to leaf diseases. Currently, the robust Nobasta, Liberica varieties, and hybrid varieties of these two coffee trees are planted instead, with very good results.

Java coffee is produced on Java Island, Indonesia, and belongs to the Arabica coffee species. After roasting, it has extremely strong bitterness and very light aroma, with no acidity. The bitterness and richness of Java coffee, combined with the sweet richness of chocolate syrup, make Java coffee more mellow and smooth, very popular among women!
