The coffee agricultural systems found on Java have changed considerably over time. A rust plague in the late 1880s killed off much of the plantation stocks in Sukabumi, before spreading to Central Java and parts of East Java. The Dutch responded by replacing the Arabica firstly with Liberica (a tough, but somewhat unpalatable coffee) and later with Robusta. Today Java's old colonial era plantations provide just a fraction of the coffee grown on the island, although it is primarily the higher valued Arabica variety. (source : wikipedia) The most favourite java coffee, Arabica, production is centered on the Ijen Plateau, East Java , at an altitude of more than 1,400 meters. The others five largest estates are Blawan (also spelled Belawan or Blauan), Jampit (or Djampit), Pancoer (or Pancur), Kayumas and Tugosari, and they cover more than 4,000 hectares. At their best, they are smooth and supple and sometimes have a subtle herbaceous note in the aftertaste. Java is also a source of kopi luwak, renowned as the most expensive coffee in the world.
