About Old Brown Java

This unique coffee was created in the 16th century, when it was used as ballast in the holds of sailing ships. The conditions created from being  surrounded by wood and the brine of the sea gave the coffee a distinct flavour. Sailors also used the colour of the beans as a guide to how long they had been at sea. Today, the beans are monsooned and held underground for 2-7 years to replicate the woody and peaty profile. 

 

We call our Old Brown Java the 'Marmite' of the coffee world. Try it and see if youre team 'love it' or 'hate it'.
