Brief Indonesia Coffee History

Coffee started to plant in Indonesia when European countries colonized Indonesia. Indonesian farmers have started to plant this commodity.

But the weather and situation in Indonesia can’t support this plant, so it got a disease. Then, robusta came and grew well in Indonesia. 

As farming knowledge increase, this time, a coffee farmer can plant both Arabica and Robusta, although robusta is planted more. The reason is that robusta doesn’t need special treatment like Arabica. It also can grow in any kind of ground height, rain level, and weather. 

Arabica grows very well in many places. Each of them gives a special taste and after taste. As we know, Arabica coffee naturally has a soft sour taste that makes it more famous than robusta. Some people prefer this taste to the bitter taste of robusta.
