Fire and flames for a delicate tobacco note

Premium coffees exhibit an especially balanced combination of aroma – in other words, fragrance and flavour – acidity and body. One successful example of this is Dallmayr GRAND CRU Java Blawan. With its unmistakably intense flavour and delicate tobacco note, this full-bodied coffee is simply irresistible. The cherries come from a highly esteemed coffee region: the Indonesian island of Java belongs to the Pacific Ring of Fire – a belt of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean. This is home to a total of 130 active volcanoes, and nearly 40 of these are located on Java alone. The equatorial tropical climate and the fertile volcanic soil offer the perfect conditions for growing high-quality coffee.

In good hands down through generations Coffee on the Blawan plantation

The most renowned plantations are located in East Java, around the Ijen volcano. One of Indonesia’s finest coffees is grown on the Blawan plantation. The coffee cherries grow on high plateaus at 1,000 to 1,600 metres. For generations, the farmers at Blawan have dedicated themselves with great devotion to growing coffee. Every plant is meticulously pruned, and the soil is maintained in perfect condition. After harvesting, the Arabica beans are washed and left to dry for two weeks in the sun before being sorted by hand and filled into sacks.

The brave pilgrim of the coffee bean

Java has a long tradition of coffee cultivation. Named after the island of Java, Arabica coffee is also generally referred to as ‘Java beans’. The tale of how exactly the first beans arrived in South-East Asia, however, is a long story. Coffee was first taken to Yemen through Abyssinia, which is known as Ethiopia today. There, coffee was shrouded in strict secrecy. The valuable beans were only allowed to leave the Arabian Empire if already brewed or roasted. This prevented anyone from establishing a new culture. Legend has it that at the beginning of the 17th century, the Indian pilgrim Baba Budan smuggled seven coffee tree seeds out of the country. The monopoly was thus broken and coffee spread around the globe. At the end of the 17th century, a Dutch sailor is said to have brought coffee to Java.
