Coffee has deep roots in Java as it was one of the first places outside of Arabia and Africa where coffee was cultivated, dating back to the early 1700s. The island quickly became a key player in the global coffee trade, and the name “Java” itself became synonymous with coffee around the world.
Mount Malabar, with its high altitudes, fertile volcanic soil, and cool misty climate, provides ideal growing conditions for high-quality arabica. The region is also known for its traditional processing techniques and a strong focus on quality improvement by smallholder farmers and cooperatives.
This naturally processed lot showcases the best of West Java. It’s smooth and sweet, with bright tropical fruit and delicate floral notes. The body is balanced and juicy, with a crisp, refreshing acidity that lifts the finish. Expect a cup that reflects both the heritage and innovation of Indonesian coffee: complex, clean, and full of character.
Freshness & Resting
Our coffees are freshly roasted in small batches, but we recommend letting them rest for about 7–14 days after roasting before brewing. This short resting period allows carbon dioxide to escape and the flavours to develop fully, resulting in a smoother, more balanced cup. Freshly roasted beans can taste sharp or gassy, while rested coffee reveals its true sweetness and complexity.
To get the most balanced cup out of this coffee, we recommend brewing this one with a water temperature at around 88°C. See our brew guide for more detailed instructions.
