Besides having a long history with coffee, Java is also quite unique. Most coffees coming from this region undergo a semi-washed processing (also known as wet processing). The main difference from other methods is that after the cherries are peeled, they are dried to 30-35% moisture and then the husk is immediately removed from the coffee itself. The coffee beans continue to dry until they reach 11-12 % moisture. The result is a cleaner cup with lower acidity levels.

This coffee, sourced from Blue Sunda Estate in West Java, is also semi-washed. It is grown in the village of Loa, Bandung, which is located at an altitude of between 1100 and 1300 m. The area is home to about 500 smallholder farmers, most of whom practice organic farming and avoid the use of chemical fertilizers.
