The most important island of Indonesia, the political, economic and cultural center of the country. It is about 970 kilometers from east to west and 160 kilometers from north to south, forming a narrow shape. It covers an area of 126000 square kilometers and has a population of about 124 million (2005 data).

How wide the basins are in the mountains, many of which are the birthplaces of the ancient kingdoms of Indonesia and are still developed agricultural belts and town centers. The northern coast is an alluvial plain with many man-made ports; the south bank is steep and hilly. Earthquakes and tsunamis are frequent. The climate is hot, with high temperature and rainy weather all year round in the west and dry season in the east. The annual precipitation is about 1500 mm, less than 1000 mm in a few areas and more than 4000 mm in mountainous areas. There are many rivers, and the rivers entering the sea on the north bank are large, mainly Zhi Lion, Zhi Manu, Thoreau, Zitarong, Brantas and so on. The soil on the island is fertile, the natural conditions are good, and the forest cover rate is 23%. The land reclamation rate is 70%, which is the highest in the country. Mineral deposits include oil, coal, manganese, iron, gold, silver, phosphorus, sulfur, iodine and so on.

Industries include oil refining, shipbuilding, machinery, metallurgy, rubber, textile, chemical industry, papermaking and so on. Transportation is well developed, with 60% to 70% of the mileage of roads and railways in the country. In the 2nd century, the Eastern Han Dynasty was filial to the emperor Yongjian for six years (131). Ye Tiaoguo sent an envoy to the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Ye Diao" is the pronunciation of the ancient Java Sanskrit name Yavadvipa.

In the 5th century, in the eighth year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (412), the eminent monk Faxian landed in Yabadi. Yevati is Yavadvipa, which is ancient Java.

It is called Holuodan from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Huan Ling and Huan Po.

In the Song Dynasty, there were three countries on the island of Java: Taruna in the west, Madalan in the middle, and Jianyili in the east. In the third year of Song Taizong Chunhua (992), King Dharmvamca of East Java sent an envoy to pay tribute. At that time, the King of Muro Tea had unified Java, and his power had extended to Bari, Bolin State, and the war with Sanfoqi on the island of Sumatra. But as a result of the East Java-Sanfoqi War, the East Java national army was defeated and King Dharmvamca was killed. The power of Sanfo Qi expanded into Java.

The rise of Shinhashari on the island of Java in the 13th century.

In 1290 King Kertanagara of Shinhashari expelled the three Buddhas from Java. Kertarajasa, son-in-law of King Ketanagara, founded the powerful Manchu Boyi dynasty, with the city of Manchu Boyi as its capital (southwest of present-day Surabaya).

Then Ketanagara, the king of Shinhashari, was killed by the rebel Jayakatwang (Jayakatwang).

From 1292 to the 29th year of Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan sent a navy composed of 1000 warships to cross the sea from Quanzhou, Fujian Province, and landed in Java. Ketalayasa, the Manchu king, attacked the rebellious general Jayakatwang of the Shin Heshali State and destroyed the faith of the Heshali State. Ketalayassa, the king of Manchu Boyi, then rebelled against GE and repulsed the Yuan army, unifying Java. The History of the Yuan Dynasty calls Manchu Bo Yi "Malopacher" and is the capital of Java.

At that time, Java coffee sold to Europe was a very special kind of coffee. At that time, it was shipped to Europe and the United States by sailboat, and the distance was long and the speed was slow, so it took a lot of time to transport. In this case, the coffee seems to have undergone a special fermentation and has a very unique taste.

High quality Java coffee

Later, when the ship replaced the sailboat, due to the shortened delivery time, people drank relatively fresh coffee beans. 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, some profiteers deliberately tampered with some fresh Guatemalan or Venezuelan beans to mimic the high prices of old Java. It is intolerable that profiteers 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 coffee has a strong bitter taste after roasting, but the flavor is extremely light. Although the acidity is low and the taste is delicate, it is rarely used for direct drinking, is often used to mix mixed coffee, or is used to make instant coffee. Each caffeine variety has its own strong character, such as masculine Mantenin, with a character similar to that of an iron man; mellow, fragrant blue mountain coffee, gentle women miss addicted. Java Coffee, which has always been light and fragrant, is suitable for those who like light sex. Such people do not want to drink coffee as a sitting thing, from sour, sweet, bitter, astringent experience what profound philosophy of life, just want to simply drink a cup of delicious coffee, a cup of hot Java coffee, let these people realize that "the realm of life is rich and quiet." Quiet, because of getting rid of the temptation of external fame and gain; rich, because of having the treasure of the inner spiritual world. The happiness of life is to reap such an incisive interpretation of the realm.

Java coffee
