In the process of promoting coffee to the world, the Dutch have spared no effort. Since Venice merchants resold coffee all over Europe at the end of the 16th century, the Dutch were unwilling to become second-tier traders and tried to grow their own coffee. Nicholas of Amsterdam in 1696. Nicolaas Witson was the first to suggest to his superiors that coffee should be planted at the then Dutch colony of Kedawoeng Estate on the island of Java, but failed. Three years later, the other one was Henriks. The Dutch (Henricus Zwaaydecroon) of Zaidekron succeeded in growing coffee on the island of Java and developed the famous coffee (Mocha-Java). Then coffee cultivation continued to spread to Sumatra, Bali and Selebes in Indonesia, where Indonesia has become the third largest coffee producer and exporter in the world.

Nowadays, coffee produced in Indonesia includes Java, Mandheling, Ankola and Kopi Luwah, which are also known as civet coffee.

The Dutch also tried many times to introduce coffee cultivation techniques to France. In 1714, the Dutch shipped a 1.5m coffee tree from Amsterdam to Paris, dedicated to the then French King Louis XIV, which was planted in the Jardin des Plantes Botanical Garden in Paris at that time. Louis XIV was the first monarch in Europe to drink coffee.
