In year 1800-1900, a cup of coffee from Java is so well-known in the West that it is often called the cup of Java. According to the history record in 1696, the first coffee plant in Indonesian archipelago wasplanted at Batavia (now known as Jakarta), Java. As the plantation flourishes, a Dutch East Indian company, better known as VOC decided to build another plantation at the state of Pasundan by forced labour. These coffee beans were first exported to the West at around 1700 by VOC. This export sparked the first enormous consumption of coffee outside Arab and Ethiopia. However, things began to change due to the outbreak of coffee leaf rust disease which destroyed 90% of the coffee trees in the plantation. VOC then set its eyes on other parts of the Indonesian archipelago. Since then, the development of Javanese coffee has slowed down tremendously as compared to other parts of Indonesian archipelago. Therefore, we are committed to reinstate its position as the worlds leading coffee source by bringing West Javanese coffee beans to the world market. We are trying hard to achieve this progressively with the aim of restoring thepast glory of Javanese coffee beans.
