May 2025: Indonesia Old Brown Java

Country: Indonesia
Method: Washed
Altitude: 1200m
Tasting Notes: Dark Chocolate, Tobacco, Spice, Caramel

A coffee steeped in history, tradition, and time itself — Indonesia Old Brown Java is a renowned aged coffee that delivers an experience unlike any other. Grown at around 1200m on the volcanic slopes of Java, this unique specialty coffee is known for its smooth, mellow profile and distinctively full-bodied, syrupy character.

The story of Old Brown Java dates back to the 16th century, when the Dutch East India Company first introduced coffee to Indonesia. As sailing ships transported spices and other goods across the oceans, unroasted coffee beans were stored in the humid, salty air of ship holds, acting as ballast during long voyages to Europe. By the time the ships arrived, the beans had been naturally aged by the tropical conditions, emerging with a deep, earthy complexity, a woody aroma, and strikingly low acidity.

Today, that traditional ageing process is carefully recreated on land. Once harvested, the beans are stored in Indonesia’s warm, damp climate for several years – sometimes up to six – allowing them to mature slowly. As they age, the green beans transform into a distinctive light brown shade and develop the signature characteristics that set Old Brown Java apart: musky depth, smooth texture, and a mellow, almost smoky sweetness.
