Coffee that refreshes you, ready to drink.

Coffee is grown throughout Indonesia, and Java occupies an extremely important place in coffee history.

Coffee trees were introduced to Indonesia by the Dutch in the mid-17th century (some official sources say earlier). 1712 The first coffee from Java arrives in Amsterdam. However, in 1877 coffee trees on all plantations were destroyed by coffee rust, and robert coffee trees had to be imported from Africa to replace the original species. Today only 6 to 10 percent of coffee beans are Arabica beans. Indonesia is the world's leading producer of Robett coffee, producing 6.8 million bags of coffee a year, mostly from small plantations, accounting for about 90% of the total production.

The best growing areas in the whole archipelago are Java, Sumatra (Blawan), Sulawesi (Sulawesi) and Flores (Flores).

Java produces fine aromatic coffee with relatively low acidity, fine taste and good balance. Java coffee is superior in aroma and acidity to Sumatra and Sulawesi coffees. The best plantations in Java are Blawan, Jambit, Kayumas and Pankur. Java mocha coffee is a blend of Java coffee and Yemeni mocha coffee.

Sumatra, Indonesia's second largest island, is the center of Indonesia's oil industry. Rubber and timber on the island are also famous export commodities. But Sumatra coffee is more striking, similar to Java coffee, but slightly heavier. Mandheling and Ankola coffee beans are also highly valued, the former even being hailed as the world's most granular coffee beans.

Sulawesi, located between Borneo and New Guinea, is sometimes called Celebes. The coffee produced on the island is full of particles and rich in flavor. The best coffee beans are grown in Kalossi and Rantepao in the south of the island. Among the many brands, try Celebes Carlochy Coffee.

One of the main coffee producers in New Guinea is Sigri Plantation, which produces the same overall style of archipelagic coffee, with full grains and good balance.

Overall, Indonesian coffee has a strong, mellow, slightly syrupy flavor and excellent acidity, which is reflected in the excellent quality of the coffee by its two main export markets, Germany and Japan. What appeals to consumers is the exceptional quality of its arabic coffee beans. You can add milk or cream to high-quality Indonesian coffee without worrying about affecting its taste. Indonesian coffee is divided into six grades, the best is AP. No one knows exactly what these two letters represent.

When ships replaced sailboats, coffee from these islands faced the same problem as Indian coffee from Mysore-consumers were used to coffee affected by long journeys and therefore did not want to accept the taste of "fresh" coffee. To solve this problem, the Indonesian government has tried to imitate coffee affected by long trips, and they have "stored" coffee beans for up to a year. However, the taste of this moist coffee is not widely accepted, so that it affects the good reputation of coffee.

However, Indonesia's "storage" coffee or "journey" coffee is still produced today. It is sold under the brand names Old Government, Old Brown and Old Java.

Although Indonesia produces so much good coffee, it is puzzling that its residents prefer Turkish coffee to its famous European coffee
