Monsooning Old Brown Java Coffee
The monsooning of the Old Brown Java coffee beans may continue for as long as three years. The monsooning process results in a strengthening of the coffee’s taste, a weakening of the acidity. There is also a distinct color change from the original green tint of the coffee beans to a light brown color.
Old Brown Java coffee is a mature coffee with a taste intended to mimic the taste of the original Java coffee that was inadvertently aged in the hulls of ships traveling to Europe in the 1700s and 1800s.
