Old Brown Java

Just in. This low acidity, musky, earthy dark roasted coffee is  both sweet and bold. It originates from the east coast of Java, where it is grown on the old colonial estates that dot that part of the island. It was traditionally used as ballast in the wooden sailing ships that crossed from East to West in the seventeenth century. The coffee beans changing from green to brown during their travels, giving them a musty tobacco flavour.

Nowadays the beans are aged underground for at least three years before they can be classed as Old Brown Java.

This coffee is best enjoyed from the sixth day after roasting.

Our recommended brewing methods- Cafetiere, Espresso and Filter.
