This is a Java varietal separation lot from Finca Rosita. Coffee at Finca Rosita is mostly shade grown. The farm is located on the Bolivian Altiplano not far from Lake Titicaca. The plateau is the most extensive high plateau on earth outside of Tibet and a landscape dominated by active volcanoes. The extraordinary terrain creates complexity and bestows uniqueness in the coffee grown here.

The Java cultivar is tall with bronze tipped leaves, long pointed seeds, and high cup quality potential. The varietal at its best is known for its delicate, tea-like, and even floral characteristics. It is a varietal selection from an Ethiopian landrace population called "Abysinia" introduced to the island of Java by the Dutch in the early 19th century. In the mid-20th century, it was taken to Cameroon and after 20 years of selection it made it to Central America.
