Indonesia Old Brown Java Coffee Beans (Green / Unroasted)
 
Grown at 1200m on the volcanic slopes of Java, Indonesia, Old Brown Java is a single-origin Typica varietal processed using the washed method. This coffee is celebrated for its bold, distinctive character, featuring intense notes of bitter dark chocolate balanced with subtle tobacco hints, delivering an earthy richness that excels in a dark roast espresso.
With an SCA score of 76, Old Brown Java offers deep complexity and a robust profile—perfect for espresso enthusiasts seeking an authentic, heritage-rich Indonesian brew.
Unique Aging Process
The name "Old Brown" reflects a traditional aging method where green coffee beans undergo extended storage—often for several years—in warm, humid conditions. This slow aging transforms the beans from green to light brown and enhances their rich, earthy, and subtly sweet flavor while significantly reducing acidity.
Flavor Profile
Expect musky, chocolatey, and earthy notes, a smooth mouthfeel, and a mellow, full-bodied brew with low acidity—ideal for medium to dark roasting styles.
Roasting Recommendations
Best roasted to medium or dark levels to highlight its smoky and aged characteristics.
 
Important: These are raw, unroasted green coffee beans and must be roasted before grinding or brewing. Not suitable for raw consumption.
