The first thing to know is that coffee is not native to Indonesia it was acquired by the VOC when they colonized Indonesia in the 17th century. The Dutch colonial government initially planted coffee around Jakarta and as far south as Sukabumi and Bogor. Later, coffee plantations were also established in East Java, Central Java, West Java, and parts of Sumatra and Sulawesi. Coffee had a significant impact on infrastructure in Central Java in the 19th century, and the government built the roads and railways needed to transport coffee beans from the island's interior to ports where they were shipped and exported.
Why did the Dutch import coffee into Indonesia? It was precisely because they wanted to expand their business and become the world's largest coffee producer. By the early 17th century, the Dutch had already succeeded in inventing their own coffee, known as Arabica coffee. The Dutch imported coffee bushes from Yemen and cultivated them in the green houses of the Amsterdam Botanical Garden. This successful development had a significant impact on global production. Arabica Coffee was first cultivated in 1750, followed by the first in Sumatra in 1888 and then in Gayo Highland (Aceh) near Lake Laut Tawar in 1924.
The VOC first exported Indonesian Coffee in 1711, and Indonesia became a major coffee exporter worldwide, exporting up to 60 tons annually. Indonesian coffee, also known in Europe as a black beverage a cup of Java, was considered one of the finest coffees in the world until the mid-19th century. For approximately 175 years, Java Coffee was the only commercial coffee variety grown in Indonesia. However, by the late 19th century, Java Coffee's development had diverged as it suffered severe setbacks from leaf rust. This type of coffee can be found in some areas such as the Ijen plateau (Banyuwangi, East Java), Tanah Toraja (South Sulawesi), Bukit Barusan (Sumatra), Mandhailing – Lintong – Sadiklalang (North Sumatra), and the central plateau of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam.
After some time, the blighted leaf rust disease that attacked Arabica varieties caused the Dutch government to introduce a new coffee variety called Liberica. However, after planting and harvesting, Liberica's productivity was very low and not as good as Arabica or Robusta. The Dutch also introduced Robusta coffee from Congo, Africa, in the 1900s, and this variety is more resistant to leaf rust diseases and produces better yields than Liberica. In 1920, the government established a coffee plant research center in Java, tasked with developing and studying Arabica and Robusta coffee varieties.
Robusta and Arabica coffees have undergone inter-variety crossbreeding over time and with advancing technology, producing some clonal hybrids. Liberica cherries can still be found in Java, but are rarely used as a commercial crop in Indonesia. Robusta sales are in the hands of smallholder cooperatives, which account for approximately ¾ of coffee production.
Indonesia has three main coffee-producing regions. Each region produces coffee beans with distinct flavors due to soil composition, growing methods, and geographical locations.
