Contrast: a unique African coffee, very similar to Indonesian coffee, Uganda is the country of origin of Robusta coffee, but commercial cultivation of Arabica species here did not begin until early 1900. Today, there are still a large number of wild robusta coffee trees in Uganda, which is rare in cities in the world. As a landlocked country, the large coffee cultivation in Uganda is often interplanted, where coffee trees are intermingled with food crops and rubber trees. because of the unique natural environment, the coffee here spends an average of twice a year. This also makes Uganda the largest producer of coffee honey in the world. Later, when ships replaced sailboats, people drank relatively fresh coffee beans due to shorter shipping time. But people who are used to drinking Chen beans are not used to the fresh taste, so they desperately pursue old Java coffee, so that the Indonesian government and some businessmen deliberately store fresh beans in warehouses for one or two years and then sell them to consumers. In fact, compared with fresh beans, the acidity of aged Java beans is close to zero, but the flavor is more intense. Because of the long storage time, the increase in cost and the limited quantity, Java has always been a hot item in the coffee market. In the 1880s, 0 merchants deliberately tampered with some fresh Guatemalan or Venezuelan beans to imitate aged Java for high prices. It is intolerable that 0 merchants dye coffee beans to make them look more like old Java, but there is no doubt that the dyed chemicals are certainly toxic.

Java produces only a small amount of Arabica beans, most of which were imported from Africa after the rust disaster. This kind of coffee has a strong bitter taste after roasting, but its aroma is extremely light. Although it has low acidity and delicate taste, it is rarely used for direct drinking. It is often used to mix mixed coffee or to make instant coffee.
