The first blend ever created was Mocha Java, at the time a combination of the few coffees being traded. Today, those original ingredients are not reliably available so we replicate them with components much in the same style as the original. We blend Sumatra Mandheling, which provides heavier tones of earth and spice, with a washed Ethiopia, either from Yrgacheffe or Guji, which adds fruit, cocoa and exotic flavors. The result is a heavy bodied, winey and slightly acidic brew. Our Mocha Java Style has been highly praised for its straight forwardness; the blend’s proportions provide the perfect balance. Earthy, bold and intriguing.
NEWS FLASH: In the August 2025 edition of Coffee Review our Mocha Java Style was awarded 93 points! In a review of Mocha Java Blend coffees, ours was one of the highest scores and the top value.
