Organic Java

Organic Java

Coffee has been cultivated on the island of Java since the late 1600's; the first Dutch sailing ships carrying coffee back to Europe would often also call at the port of Mokka in modern-day Yemen, combining the Javanese coffee with the local production, resulting in the famous Mocca-Java blend.

This "Taman Dadar" coffee (meaning flower garden, as the local farmers call this area), comes from the villages of Curah Tatal and Kayumas. Under normal climate conditions the harvesting period takes place between May and September, with farmers typically picking in the morning and then delivering ripe cherry to the processing stations in the afternoon.
