A brief introduction to the flavor, taste and aroma characteristics of Indonesian West Java coffee beans with low acidity

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 coffee has a strong bitter taste after roasting, but the aroma is extremely light. Although the acidity is low and the taste is delicate, it is rarely used for direct drinking. It is often used to mix mixed coffee or to make instant coffee.

Java coffee is produced on the Indonesian island of Java and belongs to Arabica coffee. After baking, the bitter taste is extremely strong and the aroma is very light, without sour taste. The bitterness and mellowness of Java coffee, coupled with the sweetness of chocolate syrup, make Java coffee more mellow and palatable and very popular with women!

Java coffee

Among the Asian coffee-producing countries, Indonesia is a very noteworthy one. Indonesia is an island country in the Indian Ocean, the islands are distributed on both sides of the equatorial line, of which three islands: Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi produce the most important coffee in the world. In the mid-17th century, the Dutch brought coffee trees to Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) and Java in Indonesia. In the 18th century, Indonesia became a major producer of coffee, and almost all of its high-quality Arabica coffee was supplied to Europe. But in the 19th century, coffee rust, which first appeared in Ceylon in 1869, also affected Indonesia. By 1877, most of the coffee fields on the Indonesian islands had been damaged by rust, and the Dutch had to import other coffee varieties from Africa, namely Romsda coffee. It is more resistant to diseases and insect pests, but its quality is inferior. Today, about 90 per cent of Indonesian coffee is Romda beans, about 6.8 million bags a year, and less than 10 per cent of beans are Arabica coffee.

Coffee produced in Indonesia generally does not have the name "Indonesia", but directly bears the name of the island, such as Java, Sumatra and so on.

Java coffee is famous in the early years, which refers to Arabica coffee formerly grown on the island of Java. It has a strong aroma, low acidity, taste lubrication, combined with mocha coffee, the "Java mocha mixed coffee" was once popular and became synonymous with the top coffee.

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.

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.

Today's 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 aroma is extremely light. Although the acidity is low and the taste is delicate, it is rarely used for direct drinking. It is often used to mix mixed coffee or to make instant coffee.

Diseases and insect pests are really a powerful thing. It has greatly reduced coffee production in Brazil and repeatedly influenced the international coffee market. It has also made Sri Lanka, which used to plant coffee trees all over, cut down coffee trees and plant coffee instead. It also makes Java, which is rich in high-quality Arabica coffee, switch to Romsda coffee for fear of diseases and insect pests. Arabica Java coffee, which is regarded as a treasure, has been out of sight since then, and people's unlimited favor and pursuit of Java coffee has been lost ever since.

Java, which belongs to Indonesia, is the fourth largest island in the country, and the capital Jakarta is located on the northwest coast of Java. In addition, java is the name of a computer language, and because Java is rich in the famous Java coffee, the computer language uses Java as its name and steaming Java coffee as its icon.
