Indonesia is the fourth largest producer of coffee in the world, with a
reputation for low acidity and strong flavour which inclines them to
blending or use in high roasts such as espresso where coffee character
and individuality is not as important as strength. However, some parts
of Indonesia are known for producing beans of character, and Sumatra,
particularly the north region where Mandheling branded coffees come
from, produces beans which have both depth of flavour and enough acidity
to produce character and intriguing lime notes. The Mandheling name
comes from the
Mandailing people who live in the area and grow the coffee.
Java is the main island of Indonesia (not the biggest island, but the
most populated), and is associated with robust, high caffeine beans.
Production is mostly robusta, and is mainly used in blends to give them
strength, though arabica is grown, and aged beans are sold as specialist
coffee, usually under names such as Old Java, Old Brown or Old
Government.
