In the mid-17th century, coffee trees were introduced to Indonesia by the Dutch (some official sources believe that earlier). The first batch of coffee from Java was sold to Amsterdam in 1712. However, coffee trees in all plantations were destroyed by coffee rust in 1877, and Robart coffee trees had to be introduced from Africa to replace the original species. Today, only 6% or 10% of coffee beans are Arabian coffee beans. Indonesia is the world's leading producer of Robbins coffee, producing 6.8 million bags of coffee a year, with more than half of the coffee coming from small plantations, accounting for about 90 per cent of the total production.

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

Java produces exquisite aromatic coffee with relatively low acidity, delicate taste and good balance. The aroma and acidity of Java coffee is better than that of Sumatra and Sulawesi. The best plantations in Java are Blawan, Jambit, Kayumas and Pankur. Java mocha is a mixture of Java coffee and Yemeni mocha coffee.

Sumatra, the second largest island in the Indonesian archipelago, is the center of Indonesia's oil industry, and its rubber and timber are also famous exports. But the coffee in Sumatra is more eye-catching, similar to Java coffee, but with slightly heavier grains. Coffee beans from Mandheling and Ankola have also received a lot of attention, and the former is even known as the world's fullest coffee beans.

On the whole, Indonesian coffee has a strong flavor, mellow taste, slightly syrup flavor and excellent acidity, and its two main export markets are Germany and Japan, which reflects the excellent quality of the coffee. What attracts consumers is the unique quality of its Arabica 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 of which is AP. But no one is sure what these two capital letters stand for.

When ships replaced sailboats, the coffee produced in these islands faced the same problem as Indian coffee from Mysore-that is, consumers were used to coffee affected by long-distance travel, so they were reluctant to accept the taste of this "fresh" coffee. In order to solve this problem, the Indonesian government tried to copy coffee affected by long-distance travel. They stored the coffee beans for as long as a year. However, what is not satisfactory is that the taste of this wet-treated coffee is not so widely accepted that it affects the good reputation of its coffee.

However, Indonesia's "store" or "journey" coffee is still produced today. It is generally sold under the brands of "Old Government", "Old Brown" and "Old Java".

Although Indonesia produces so much admirable coffee, it is puzzling that local residents prefer Turkish coffee to its famous European-style coffee, which is produced throughout Indonesia (Indonesia). Java plays an extremely important role in coffee history.
