Java boutique coffee beans Arabica coffee

Among the Asian coffee-producing countries, Indonesia is a very noteworthy one. Indonesia is an island country in the Indian Ocean, the islands are distributed on both sides of the equatorial line, of which three islands: Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi produce the most important coffee in the world. In the mid-17th century, the Dutch brought coffee trees to Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) and Java in Indonesia. In the 18th century, Indonesia became a major producer of coffee, and almost all of its high-quality Arabica coffee was supplied to Europe. But in the 19th century, coffee rust, which first appeared in Ceylon in 1869, also affected Indonesia. By 1877, most of the coffee fields on the Indonesian islands had been damaged by rust, and the Dutch had to import other coffee varieties from Africa, namely Romsda coffee. It is more resistant to diseases and insect pests, but its quality is inferior. Today, about 90 per cent of Indonesian coffee is Romda beans, about 6.8 million bags a year, and less than 10 per cent of beans are Arabica coffee.

Coffee produced in Indonesia generally does not have the name "Indonesia", but directly bears the name of the island, such as Java, Sumatra and so on.
