Ideal for espresso, our strong Old Brown Java beans are aged as green beans for at least two years before being roasted, giving the coffee a heavier body & a powerful flavour, but very little acidity. The process of ageing beans is popular among many Javanese coffee producers & can last for as long as three years, during which green beans may be 'monsooned' by being exposed to the warm, moist air of the rainy seasons. As the green beans age they often begin to turn to a light brown colour, & the longer they are aged the more flavour they gain.
