Java `Dutch Estate` Coffee

Description:The island of Java has had their share of difficulties during cultivation; in 1696, the Bergermeister of Amsterdam, Nicolaas Witsen, suggested that coffee seeds be taken to Java, since France was unable to grow coffee near Dijon, an area with cold winters and freezing fog. The seeds were planted in Jakarta, but were soon washed away. Three years later trees were again planted in Java, and this time they were successfully planted. At one point Java was the world leader in the production of coffee, but then in the 1800`s they were almost completely wiped out of coffee plants once again. The Dutch recovered by replacing the Arabica plants with disease resistant beans called Liberica. Although most of the beans planted today are Robusta and Arabica, Arabica still only accounts for 10% of the coffee bean export. Here at My Shop Coffee, our Java Dutch Estate Coffee is medium roasted to create a brew that is well balanced, heavy bodied, and delicious. With hints of chocolate and a slightly quicker finish than other Sumatran coffee, you'll find this cup of Java to be exquisite!
