Coffee-Direct’s Mocha Coffee is grown in the Southwest regions of Ethiopia, the country where coffee is believed to have first been discovered many centuries ago. Flavoursome and aromatic, these distinctively delicious beans, which are smaller and rounder in shape than most other varieties, offer a medium-bodied cup, with delicious fruity notes and hints of spice and wine. They produce a smooth and mellow brew with a slight sweetness and low acidity.

Our Mocha Java Coffee is a fabulous blend of two types of arabica beans, from Indonesia and Yemen. Indonesian coffees are known for their earthy flavours, with notes of wood and spice, while coffees from Yemen have distinctive wild and pungent tropical fruit flavours as well as nut, spice, chocolate and tobacco notes. This combination makes Mocha Java a match made in heaven.

Mocha Coffee and Mocha Java are both medium roast coffees, and are particularly suitable for cafetiere and filter machine use.

Coffee has been an export of Indonesia since the 16th century, when production was under the control of the Dutch East India Company, and today the country is the fourth largest coffee producer in the world. Both Arabica and Robusta coffees are grown across three main regions of Sumatra, mostly on smallholder farms. Indonesian coffees are unique, mainly because of the more unusual way the coffee cherries are processed, by using a semi-washed, or wet hulling technique called ‘giling basah’. After the ripe cherries are harvested, the outer skin is removed and the mucilage-coated beans are left a day before being washed and partially dried, but still retaining 30-35 per cent of their moisture. They are then hulled in their semi-wet state, and dried enough to be safely stored. The raw beans at this stage will appear bluish green in colour. This method results in coffee beans with far less acidity and an interesting range of characteristics and flavours, that include smoky, earthy, vegetal, chocolate, liquorice, cocoa, butterscotch and cedar wood. In Blue Sumatra Coffee you will find a fabulously smooth and full-bodied cup, with a delicious, intense aroma and light, syrupy mouthfeel. It also has a well-balanced spiciness typical of Sumatran coffees. Because of its strength, it’s a great choice for coffee drinks with milk, and is suitable for use in bean-to-cup, cafetière, espresso and filter machines.
