Though large government-run plantations are common, this lot is produced by smallholder farmers who also produce other crops for income diversity. This coffee is sourced from family-owned farms in Java, Indonesia, particularly around the Kayumas and Curah Tatal villages. Taman Dadar, meaning “flower garden,” aptly describes the farming method is used by these smallholder farms. More environmentally friendly, the coffee beans are inter-cropped with avocados, Erythrina, Albizia, and Leucaena trees, which produce food for local consumption and shade.

Coffee was first cultivated in Java in the 17th century, but a massive rust outbreak in the late 19th century wiped out a considerable part of the coffee crops. Cultivation began again at higher elevations, where rich volcanic soil and high elevation provides excellent growing conditions for specialty coffee.
