Arabica coffee was introduced to Java in 1699 and exported to Europe 12 years later in 1711. For the next 150 years, the harvest was good until coffee rust first hit the area in 1878. The Dutch planted Arabica at higher altitudes in an attempt to fight the fungus, and they did succeed, albeit slowly. Fertile volcanic soil and lower temperatures also contribute to the healthy growth of trees. It was at this time that Robusta was introduced to the island as a substitute for the loss of Arabica. The historical significance of Java coffee can not be ignored. Until the early 20th century, it enjoyed a very high premium with Yemeni mocha coffee, usually 10-15 times that of Brazilian coffee at that time. Coffee was also first grown in Java, before other Indonesian islands.

Most coffee farms in East Java are monocultural, while many farmers use permanent subtropical and tropical shade trees to provide 30-50% shade for their farms. Although coffee is by far the most competitive cash crop for producers, intercropping is becoming more and more common, such as growing beans, avocados and even wood. Most manufacturers are growing S795, which belongs to the Typica family. USDA 762 also grows on the island, though in much smaller quantities. Most of the coffee grown on the island is produced by small farmers, totaling 3, 000 litres, but there are still several major estates, such as Blawan, Jampit, Pancoer, Kayumas and Tugosari, covering an area of more than 4000 hectares.
