After seeing dozens of fake “Mocha Java” on the market, John created the only blend that guarantees that iconic flavor––our True Mocha Java blend. As a mixture of naturally-processed beans and wet-hulled beans (a method exclusive to Indonesian coffees in which the mucilage and parchment stay on the bean to ferment only overnight ), this is a wonderfully-complex combo––truly the best of both worlds. Despite the hardship in both Yemen and Java, farmers still have a passion for keeping their spot as one of the best origins of coffee, and this Yemen Mocha bean comes from the Pearl of Tehma, owned by Fautoum Muslot. Indonesia boasts a strong government that dominates coffee production, ensuring every bean is up to par. Though far away globally, the farms that grow these beans are small but mighty.

But how was the Mocha Java first created? In the 15th century, when Yemen coffee beans were shipped out across the Red Sea, the Indonesian sailors on board would meet their stop at the island of Java. So, in some instances, the beans would blend, and when people tasted the combination, they were immediately hooked––the first Mocha Java may have been an accident, but it was a happy one we enjoy to this day.
