“Coffee - the favorite drink of the civilized world."
Two of the earliest single-origin coffees are Mocha from Yemen and Java from Indonesia. In fact, the early success of these two single-origins saw the emergence of the world’s first coffee blend - Mocha-Java. Traditionally, this is a coffee bean blend of one part Yemen Mocha and two parts Arabica Java coffee. In this traditional form, Mocha-Java is the world’s oldest coffee bean blend. This historic blend combined the full-bodied Java bean with the acidic Yemen Mocha, which produces a more balanced espresso experience.
