Product Information

Hailing from Indonesia, the Old Brown Java coffee beans that I’ve picked are aged for at least two years. A bit of a Marmite coffee – love it or hate it – you must try it. Of course, I like it, but I also like marmite. If you haven’t tried this, it’s one for the list. This Indonesian coffee is ideal brewed in a paper filter to maintain its mature flavour profile in its cleanest, purest flavour. The flavour of these aged coffee beans is truly unique, and similar only to our Monsoon Malabar in spiciness. The musky complex aromas are matched by the rustic earthy flavour notes. The long finish and big body makes this coffee especially impressive.

One of our two aged coffees, Old Brown Java Coffee's story starts in the 16th century. The Indonesian coffee beans were originally used as ballast in the bottom of boats and based on the colour of the beans as they aged, the sailors knew how long they’d been at sea.

While not used in boats anymore, our beans the are still aged as green beans for a few years. As they mature, the coffee beans turn from green to brown, while they grow in flavour and lose some of their natural acidity. If you want a brew with a back story, you can't go wrong with Old Brown Java coffee beans.
