Your Coffee of the Month comes from the Indonesian island of Java.

Old Brown Java is a strong, Indonesian arabica coffee which has been “monsooned” for 6 years in a modern process replicating the original C16th “accidental” aging which took place when coffee beans were used as ballast by the Dutch during long sea journeys. After several months at sea, the result was a full-bodied bean, tempered by the wood and brine to produce an exceptional earthiness of flavour and aroma, with a hint of sweetness. Similarly, after two to six years exposure to warm moist air during Indonesia’s rainy season the green beans turn a light brown colour and gain flavour.
