Classic Blends
MOKHA-JAVA
The original blend, the Mokha-Java was originally created with Yemen Mokha and estate Java as the constituents. With more options now available, this blend is generally a 50/50 blend of East African and Indonesian, sometimes with a little bias towards Indonesian (55-60%). Try 50% Ethiopian Harrar, 50% Sumatran Mandheling or Java.
