Old Brown Java Coffee Beans

Monsooning Old Brown Java Coffee

The monsooning of the Old Brown Java coffee beans may continue for as long as three years. The monsooning process results in a strengthening of the coffee's taste, a weakening of the acidity. There is also a distinct color change from the original green tint of the coffee beans to a light brown color.

Old Brown Java coffee is a mature coffee with a taste intended to mimic the taste of the original Java coffee that was inadvertently aged in the hulls of ships traveling to Europe in the 1700s and 1800s.

While Old Brown Java green beans are difficult to find, Indian Monsooned Malabar is a similar coffee and has seen good feedback recently.
