Indonesia Java Blawan Estate Microlot – Roasted Coffee
The coffee from the ''Island of Spices'' is characterized by layers of flavor and liveliness. It usually has hints of fruit and spices that farmers grow near the coffee plantations. The same is true of the Java Blawan Estate microlot from Indonesia's Ijen region, whose character is defined by a complex of several volcanoes. The specific soil conditions, elevated location, and microclimate of the plateau are responsible for the taste and aroma of each coffee bean.

Ingredients
100 % ArabicaTaste & Crema
Indonesia Java Blawan Estate coffee beans show a nice body with mild acidity. The aroma is chocolate-spicy with a trace of tobacco. In the taste, you can detect cinnamon, chocolate, grape, and tangerine, all perfectly balanced, and harmonious, with a great aftertaste. As for the crema, you are in for a smooth, compact, light foam when you brew your espresso.
Origins
When a Dutch governor working in India sent coffee plant seedlings to his colleague in Jakarta in 1696, he certainly did not know that he would start an industry that would propel Indonesia into the top 5 coffee producers in the world. However, to be accurate, let us add that the first shipment of coffee plants ended badly – the plantation was washed away in a flood. The second attempt in 1699 was already successful, and it was thanks to it that Indonesia was able to export coffee to Europe for the first time. That was in 1711, and it was from Java.
The ideal conditions for coffee trees to grow are at the eastern end of Java, around the Ijen volcanic formation. The volcanoes are currently dormant, the highest reaching an altitude of 2,769m. Naturally, they attract the attention of tourists, who most often head for the blue flames shooting out of the crater fissures. It is an extraordinary spectacle, with up to 5m of fire, attracting many people to make the nightly 2-hour hike. Also notable is the crater lake, considered the most acidic in the world.
Another interesting fact is that, unlike other coffee producing countries, coffee in Java is grown on large plantations controlled by the government. However, these state-owned farms are careful to ensure a high-quality harvest and dedicate some of their lands to microlot. The Java Blawan Estate in Ijen, Indonesia, is such a place.
The harvest season in Indonesia falls in the months between May and September, and the most common method of processing coffee cherries is washing and drying in direct sunlight. To remove the skin, they are put through a crushing plate. The pulp, enveloping the green coffee beans is then dissolved in tanks of water where the coffee ferments. A final ''wash'' cleans the loosened seeds perfectly and prepares them for drying. Before packaging, the coffee is inspected by workers to remove defective beans.
