New York Caffè Java Katakan made of 100% Robusta – mild, full-bodied and mellow with long lasting nutty flavour.
By this Java Katakan New York Caffè gives a perfect example that first-class coffee need not necessarily be made from Arabica beans. It is much more the quality level in cultivation, harvesting, processing and roasting that counts. The subtropical climate on Java offers the best conditions for this Robusta coffee to thrive which is why you can enjoy 100% Robusta coffee of the highest grade.
Coffee from Java is full-bodied and smooth, has an excellent fragrance and a fine and elegant aroma with hints of a slightly nutty note. All in all it is well-balanced and mild. The excellent crema still tops the pleasure off. It is truly one of the best coffees in the world. Java Katakan is interesting because of its special processing called Monsooning. When the goods were still shipped by sailing boats the passage to Europe took several months during which the green beans were exposed to high humidity. During the journey the beans changed flavour and colour and looked a strange yellow by the end of it. The customers got used to these changes. That is why Monsooning is deliberately used today by exposing the beans to the elements during the Monsoon season in open-roof stores achieving the same result. Price per 1000g = € 23.96. |
