Indonesia Java Blawan - Medium Roast

Cupping notes: subtle dried apricot, pear, medium acidity, big round body, slightly tea like, herbal, spicy, very balanced

Coffee cultivation in Indonesia holds a 300 year old story which has been significantly influenced by the Dutch colonization. Today Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee producer in the world. Approximately 85% of East Java Arabica coffees are owned and driven by PTP, standing for the official governmental organization that was founded in 1894 under the Dutch. The remaining 15% of the coffee production is in the hands of farmers that own very small plots of land using traditional processing techniques. Compared to other Indonesian coffees which are mostly semi-washed resp. wet-hulled, these estate coffees from Java including the Blawan and Jampit estates are fully washed. This processing has a significant impact on the flavor due to the fermentation process of approximately 36 hours. After drying the coffee down to a humidity content of approx. 12% the coffees beans are carefully hand-sorted leading to a very consistent and clean cup profile. The Blawan plantation covers a total of 1.250ha while Jampit plantation covers 1.400ha.

Interesting to note: Sumatra, Indonesia, Java, Papua New Guinea have fairly similar taste notes. Often they are 'earthy.' Many roasters go fairly dark, toward French roasts for these regions. This is why many folks say these are "bold, strong." Kind of like you.

ENJOY!!! Discover amazing flavor & aroma. We know you will.

Thank you.
