General Flavor Observations
Java Jampit
What do you love about premium Indonesian coffee?
Whether it is the exotic flavor profile, the full rich body, the spicy, wonderful aromatics, the low acidity, or the round smooth mouth-feel, you will find it with our new crop Java Jampit!
While brewing, the aroma will fill the room with exotic spice and herbs.
The body is soft, buttery, and smooth with an incredible highlight of cinnamon on the finish.
The mouth-feel is round and inviting, with notes of baker's chocolate and toffee.
There is a hint of light honey sweetness at the lighter roasts, with darker roasts yielding the more syrupy body.
The finish is long and smooth, just as you would expect.
This Java Jampit is an elegant Indonesian coffee to be sure, and not one to miss.
Roast Level Profile Notes
Java Jampit
While Java is a coffee that does quite well at most roast levels, I chose the
Full City roast as our default because I love the spice and rustic qualities.
We are always happy to accommodate any roast level you prefer.
The notes below illustrate how changing the roast will alter the profile:
City Roast (light roast)
With this roast, you are going to get a lot of herbal qualities and subtle earth; it's just the nature of this light roast. The chocolate tones will be like cocoa nibs. The overall experience will be more tea-like, with hints of almond, peach, and vanilla. The body is still smooth and the finish a bit crisper with definite notes of cinnamon.
If you want to experience pure Origin Characteristics, then this is a good choice.
Full City Roast (medium roast)
For the best balance of body, spice, and acidity, this is the sweet spot.
The first impression is the exotic aroma, followed by notes of toffee and baker's chocolate. The mouth-feel is buttery and honey sweet; the body full, and the finish is soft with notes of cinnamon.
I really love the coffee at this roast, and it makes for an incredible Single Origin Espresso.
Full City (+) Roast
Our Full City (+) roast will add more depth and silkiness to the profile. A sweet and smooth mouth-feel is complimented by caramel/toffee, darker chocolate, and a hint of nuts and cinnamon on the lingering finish.
This will be a silky-smooth cup with nice exotic spice that will do well with milk for extra creaminess, and one that many will prefer.
Vienna Roast
A Vienna roast will provide a bolder, fuller body, with plenty of dark chocolate, spice, and extremely low acidity. The cinnamon notes will be lost, but you will gain an impressively deep cup with a long syrupy finish.
Great as an after dinner coffee or with dessert.
French Roast
Not recommended.
Additional Information
Java Jampit
The Javanese term for puppetry is
Wayang and is derived from the Indonesian word for shadow or
Bayang.
Wayang Kulit is the Javanese art of Shadow Puppetry and is considered to be the oldest freestanding puppetry forms with the earliest references dating from the 800's.
The bag label design for our Java Taman Dadar represents the Javanese art of
Wayang Kulit.
Coffee was first cultivated in Java in the 17th century in low-lying areas, but by the 19th century coffee leaf rust had completely decimated the crop.
Contemporary coffee production is at present done in the highlands where the high altitude and volcanic soil provide ideal growing conditions.
The Jampit Estate was originally established by the Dutch in the 18th century, although it is now run by the government.
Unlike most coffee processing from Indonesia, the coffee from the Jampit Estate is fully washed, which creates the elegant, clean, balanced profile you can experience today.
