I like this. It's more about the roast than the origin, because it's a blend of Indonesian and Brazilian beans roasted to extinction at roast number six, and I don't normally like dark roasted coffees, but this one has an appeal I find attractive. Yes, you can smell its been burned as soon as you pour on the hot water; and that burned coffee bean aroma and flavour is there throughout, but when fresh, this blend is invigorating without being aggressive. It's a great wake me up coffee.
Java is the main island of Indonesia (not the biggest island, but the most populated), and is associated with robust, high caffeine beans. Production is mostly robusta, and is mainly used in blends to give them strength, though arabica is grown, and aged beans are sold as specialist coffee, usually under names such as Old Java, Old Brown or Old Government.
Score: 7
