Java Jampit Estate A/WP1 X
washed
The history of coffee in Indonesia started in 1696 when the Dutch governor in Malabar sent Yemeni Arabica coffee seedlings to the Dutch Governor of Batavia (now Jakarta). The first seeds failed due to flooding in Batavia but a second shipment of seeds was sent in 1699. Plants thrived successfully, and in 1711 the first exports were sent from Java to Europe by the Dutch East India Company. The finest Java coffee comes from five large (PTPN) estates. These are Blawan, Jampit, Pancoer, Kayumas and Tugosari, covering more than 4000ha. The coffee is handpicked, wet processed and sun dried. The processing is still very much the same as the processing initially developed by the Dutch. Nowadays almost everybody uses the term Wet Processing (or WP).
