Brooklyn Roasting Company Fair Trade Certified Mocha Java Coffee 12oz Tin WHOLE BEAN

The Mocha Java blends dates from the 18th century, at a time when Europeans had a fairly limited menu of coffees to choose from. Mocha, “the world’s original commercial coffee”, is named after the Yemeni port of Mokha, or al-Mukh?, where beans from across Eastern Africa were traded and exported. At that time Yemen controlled most of the trade moving between the Arab world and the Indian Ocean, and also received beans from Java, an Indonesian island recently colonized by the Dutch, who had introduced coffee cultivation. Inevitably, these two coffees came together to form the world’s first blend. Brooklyn Roasting Company’s twist on this centuries-old classic combines a dark-roasted bean from Sumatra, a little further north along the Indonesian archipelago, with a washed heirloom Arabica from the mountains of Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. The Brooklyn Roasting Company buys, roasts and sells superb coffees from the world’s most renowned growing regions. Come see us in action at our roastery, located in Brooklyn, NY.
