Indonesia & New Guinea
Indonesia comprises 13,000 pacific islands, of which 6,000 are inhabited. It is the world's third largest producer of coffee. However, only 10% of the crop is arabica, and the number of quality beans available for the specialty coffee industry is limited. Even though thay are a small percentage of total production, arabica coffees from this region are considered to be some of the best in the world. They are prized for their richness, full body, long finish, earthiness and gentle acidity.
The Dutch first brought arabica to their colony in Java, in what was then known as the Netherland Indies, in the mid 18th century. Cultivation proved so succesful that "Java" became a synonym for all coffee.
