What is the Java Cultivar?

Java Cultivar is a coffee variety widely grown in Cameroon, related to the Abyssinia type found in East Java, Indonesia. The name reflects where the planting material came from historically - not where it primarily grows today.

In Cameroon's western highlands, Java Cultivar has adapted well to local conditions and become a significant part of the country's coffee landscape, producing a cup with moderate acidity and body suited to the region's growing environment.

The main thing worth knowing is what Java Cultivar isn't: it's not the same as Javanese Typica variants like Bergendal or Pasumah, and it's entirely unrelated to the commercial coffee region of Java in Indonesia. If you encounter it on a Cameroonian specification, it's a regional descriptor for this adapted variety rather than a reference to Indonesian coffee.
