Blue Java Batavia

Coffee has old roots in Java, stemming from the early 1700s when Yemeni coffee seedlings arrived in Indonesia (then called Batavia) via trade with India. The Dutch East India Company propelled both coffee production and trade between Java and Europe, cementing Java’s legendary status as the first origin to widely cultivate coffee outside of Ethiopia and Arabia.

The Dutch first introduced the Typica variety here, although much of the original strain was lost in a widescale leaf rust outbreak in the 1800s. The Ateng varietal, which makes up a big part of this Blue Batavia G1 lot, is a common varietal hailing from the Timor Hybrid cross between Arabica and Robusta coffee.

Blue Batavia green coffee is grown in West Java, just outside the city of Bandung. The mountains of Preanger range from 1,200 to 1,400 masl in altitude, and the temperate climate with fertile black soil has been ideal for growing Arabica coffee for over three centuries.

In this coffee we taste rich notes of Dark Chocolate, Dates, Cedar and Dried Fruit
