Coffee production started by the Dutch East India Company in the late 17th century, with coffee seed brought from Malabar in India. Coffee production was very successful and Indonesia became a global player in the coffee word.

The coffees from Indonesia has a very distinctive character due to the post-harvest process (giling basah). The hybrid process combines an element of washed and natural processes called semi-washed process. This method is dramatically reducing the natural acidity of the coffee and increasing its body, creating a softer, rounder, heavy-bodied cup of coffee. These flavour notes are unique to Indonesia and it is in high demand all over the world.
