Mocha Java – A Classic Coffee Blend of Ethiopia and Sumatra

Mocha Java is one of the world’s earliest and most iconic coffee blends, created by combining beans from Ethiopia and Sumatra, Indonesia.

This traditional style has been enjoyed for centuries and remains a favourite among coffee lovers for its unique balance of flavour, body, and aroma.

The Origins of Mocha Java

Ethiopia: Widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee, with the legend of Kaldi the goat shepherd discovering the energising effects of coffee cherries. Ethiopian beans are prized for their floral aromatics, refined acidity, and fruity notes.
Sumatra: Dutch explorers introduced coffee cultivation to Indonesia, where Sumatra’s volcanic soil and humid climate produce beans with thick, syrupy body, earthy flavours, and smooth texture.
Together, these origins created a blend that balanced fruit and floral brightness with deep, syrupy richness.

The magic of Mocha Java lies in its contrast and harmony:

Sumatran beans contribute pungent, full‑bodied, syrupy depth.
Ethiopian beans add refined acidity, balance, fruit, and floral aromatics.
The result is a coffee that is creamy, structured, and complex, appealing to both espresso purists and milk‑based drinkers.

At MyCuppa, we’ve roasted Mocha Java since 2006. Over the years:

The blend has evolved hundreds of times based on seasonal bean availability.
We add a small amount of secret beans to enhance structure and balance.
This tweak ensures our Mocha Java delivers a consistent, creamy, and strong profile while staying true to tradition.

In Australia, where milk‑based espresso drinks dominate, Mocha Java offers a versatile blend that performs beautifully in both black and white coffees.
Its chocolatey undertones and creamy mouthfeel make it a favourite for lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites.
Specialty cafés often highlight Mocha Java as a way to connect customers with the heritage of coffee blending.
