This Indonesian Java coffee is sourced from Java, Indonesia, where higher grade coffees are grown. The coffee is processed using a classic washed method, sometimes with controlled fermentation to enhance sweet and fruity flavors. This is a higher roast bean offering earthy, sweet tobacco flavors with a heavy, strong body and very muted acidity. The coffee delivers rich, aromatic, almost spicy flavors and is designed as an Italian-style high roast coffee.
