Among the Asian coffee-producing countries, Indonesia is one of the most noteworthy countries. Indonesia, which is located in the Indian Ocean, has many islands on both sides of the equator, of which Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi are the most famous, which plays a very important role in the global coffee production industry.

In the mid-17th century, the Dutch brought coffee trees to Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and Java, Indonesia (1699). However, in the 19th century, Ceylon had coffee rust and Indonesia. By 1877, most of the coffee on the Indonesian islands was infected by rust, so the Dutch introduced other varieties of coffee (Robbata beans) from Africa, which were more resistant to diseases and insect pests, but of relatively poor quality. So far, 90% of Indonesian coffee is robusta beans, while Arabica beans produce less than 10%. Subsequently, through the trade development of the Dutch East India Company, Indonesian coffee began to be exported to Europe, which also affected the expansion of coffee cultivation in Indonesia. Sumatra (Sumatra), Bali (Bali), Sulawesi (Sulawesi), and Timor (Timor) have become important producers of Indonesian coffee.

In the early years, Arabica coffee from Java was famous for its strong aroma, low acidity and smooth taste, so it was often paired with mocha as "Java mocha" and became synonymous with top coffee. At that time, Java coffee sold to Europe was regarded as a very special kind of coffee, because at that time, coffee was mainly transported to Europe and the United States by sailboat, based on factors such as long distance, slow sailing speed and a lot of time. Coffee seems to have been specially fermented and has a very unique taste. Later, when ships replaced sailboats, coffee produced on these islands faced the same problem as Mysore coffee in India-consumers were so used to coffee affected by long-distance travel that they were reluctant to accept the taste of this "fresh" coffee.

In order to solve this problem, the Indonesian government strives to copy coffee affected by long-distance travel, and they "store" coffee beans for up to a year. However, the taste of this wet-treated coffee is not widely accepted. So much so that it affected the good reputation of its coffee. Up to now, Indonesia's "stored" coffee, or "journey" coffee, is still produced, and its sales brands are generally "Old Government", "Old Brown" and "Old Java".

The cultivation of Java Arabica coffee centers on the Ijen volcano to the east of Java, which averages more than 1400 meters above sea level. Coffee was mainly grown in large estates established by the Dutch government and landlords in the early 19th century. The best coffee plantations in Java are Blawan, Jambit, Kayumas and Pankur.
