February 2026: Indonesia Old Brown Java

This month, we’re showcasing a true classic: Old Brown Java, an iconic Indonesian coffee with a history that stretches back centuries.

Grown on the eastern end of Java Island, Old Brown Java is unlike most modern coffees. Rather than celebrating brightness and acidity, it leans into richness and weight. After harvest, the beans undergo a prolonged aging process – often referred to as monsooning – where they are exposed to warm, humid tropical air for between two and seven years. Over time, the beans transform from green to a light or dark brown, mellowing acidity and developing the heavy body and earthy complexity for which this coffee is famous.

This process has its roots in history. In the 16th century, coffee shipped from Indonesia to Europe spent months at sea in wooden sailing vessels. By the time it arrived, the beans had absorbed moisture from the ocean air, dramatically altering their flavour. Monsooning was later adopted to intentionally recreate these characteristics, preserving a taste that would otherwise have been lost to modern shipping.

In the cup, Old Brown Java is bold, smooth, and deeply comforting. Expect a very full body with almost no acidity, allowing rich flavours to take centre stage. Earthy, oaky notes lead the way, followed by subtle tobacco (don’t be put off by this!) and dried prune, finishing with a rounded toffee-like sweetness and lingering cocoa depth. It’s a coffee that feels grounding and substantial, with a long, satisfying finish.

We’ve roasted this lot medium-dark to dark to fully express its character, emphasising body, warmth, and depth rather than sharpness or brightness. It performs beautifully as an espresso, producing a rich, intense shot with syrupy texture that pairs beautifully with milk, which really helps to lift it.
