Old Brown Java

Indonesia is world renowned for its fine aged coffees. This Grade 1 coffee is grown at 1500 m.a.s.l. on the slopes of Java’s active volcanic mountains. The 'old' is because this coffee is 'matured' by warehousing the coffee for a period in Indonesia’s warm, damp climate. This is a traditional ageing process from Indonesia, unmatched by modern technology. As the beans age, they turn from green to light brown and their flavour gains strength while losing acidity. Today, Indonesian coffee can be warehoused for up to three years, allowing the warm, damp climate to replicate this unique process. The classic aged Indonesian coffee, these dark and glossy beans create a superb thick, almost oily, brew. We roast this coffee to a 'full-city' roast, to encourage and bring out its oils and sweet, smoky caramel flavours.
