Java Estate Jampit

Our featured coffee for May is a complex and bold washed coffee from the Jampit Estate in Java, Indonesia. We roast this one medium-dark to bring out the richness and low acidity that Indonesian coffees are known for. The first notes you'll taste are sweet chocolate malt, followed by a brief herbal hint of sage or pine in the middle. Toward the end, it moves into a darker black cherry flavor and finishes with a nice toasted marshmallow sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the lingering chocolate notes. Roast Color: Medium Cupping Notes: Chocolate Malt, Toasted Marshmallow, Black Cherry About the coffee of the month: We feature a new coffee every month. This allows us to explore more of the world of coffee outside of our normal offerings. It is available this month only, while supplies last. Story: This coffee is sourced from the Jampit Estate located on the island of Java, Indonesia. In the 17th Century Java coffee was first cultivated in low lying areas, but by the 19th Century coffee leaf rust had destroyed production, forcing new coffee cultivation into the highlands where high altitudes and volcanic soil provide perfect growing conditions. Jampit is a large government run coffee estates established by the Dutch in the 18th century. Unlike most Indonesian processing, Jampit coffee is fully washed which gives the coffee a cleaner, more balanced profile.
