Traditional Aged Java Coffee

Old Brown Java is inspired by the historic aged coffees once transported from Indonesia to Europe on long sea voyages. During ageing, the beans gradually lose acidity while developing deeper earthy, woody and spicy characteristics. This traditional style of coffee remains popular for its smooth texture, heavy body and rich flavour profile. 

Unlike brighter fruit-led speciality coffees, Old Brown Java focuses on depth, body and smoothness, making it especially suited to espresso drinkers and darker roast coffee lovers.
