S795 in Java (Ijen Plateau)
Java (Ijen Plateau) is known for the original 'cup of java' — estate coffee from volcanic east java, and S795 is one of the varieties behind that reputation. The region's farms sit at 900–1,500 m — S795's preferred range is 900–1,500 m — and harvest runs june – october, the window in which the variety's character is decided in the field.
S795 brings its own agronomic personality to Java (Ijen Plateau): a medium-tall, spreading, suited to shade systems plant with medium-high yield potential, and disease behavior best summarized as moderate rust tolerance (declining against modern races). Regional processing leans on washed, natural, which shapes how the variety's raw material reaches the cup.
Tasted side by side with the same variety from other regions, Java (Ijen Plateau)'s expression stands apart: the variety contributes mellow chocolate and sweet spice with soft citrus, while the regional cup runs toward heavy, sweet, and low-toned: dark chocolate, molasses, and subtle spice with the clean finish of washed processing. That interaction — genetics times place — is exactly what regional sourcing is about.
