SPICE ISLANDS COFFEE AGENCIES

Across Indonesia's vast Archipelago, from the islands of Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Timor, Flores, Sumbawa, Lombok, Bali and Irian Jaya, come a diversity of coffee types and origins unmatched by any single coffee producer anywhere else in the world.
This is no accident of nature. Whilst the islands' rich volcanic soils, plentiful rainfall and ideal tropical climate provide superb coffee growing conditions, it was the arrival of Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish and British traders in the 17th Century ---- initially attracted by the Archipelago's exotic spice trades ---- which resulted in a colonial presence and the introduction of valuable plantation crops such as tea, sugar, rubber, cocoa, teak, and coffee. The first Arabica coffee is thought to have been introduced by the Dutch to Java in 1699, and Robusta in 1900.
Thus began a coffee growing tradition which has endured for 300 years, and remains to this day. From larger volume, 'EK'-standard Robusta's, to the fine specialty Arabica and Robusta coffees for which Indonesia is famous ---- Java WIB's, Sumatra Mandheling and Lintong, Toraja Kalosi, Flores, Bali, etc.
SPICE ISLANDS COFFEE AGENCIES continues the tradition in the 21st Century, with reliable sourcing, supply and quality control of all the coffees available in the Indonesian Archipelago.
