Java Mocha
Roast
Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Think of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a Snickers bar. In the coffee world there’s Mocha Java––a centuries-old blend of big bodied Indonesian coffees and sweeter, more wine-like, East African beans. At the Brooklyn Roasting Company, we offer two takes on this classic: Mocha Java and Java Mocha.
Our signature Java Mocha combines hearty Sumatran beans with heirloom Ethiopian naturals. Smoky chocolate notes mingle and swirl into blueberry and flowers. Bold, balanced, sublime.
First created in 2009, this is our original blend. It’s been our best seller ever since

Coffee is the seed of a tropical evergreen shrub. Growers around the world harvest and process a wide range of coffee varietals grown under widely different conditions. The genetics of the plant and the "origin terroir” greatly contribute to the character of the coffee you wind up tasting in the cup. At the Brooklyn Roasting Company we search out the world’s finest coffees and expertly roast them to tease out their many colorful characters. Our coffee team is constantly evaluating the coffees we source (or consider sourcing). At the outset, we measure the moisture content of incoming “green” and then sample roast these lots to determine the optimal profile for each coffee on a larger, commercial scale. We cup each sample roast on rotating stone tables equipped with circulating hot water baths, and a thick, tempered glass surface that floats on zany 1960’s superballs and hula hoops. This playful, colorful backdrop to cupping and assessing coffee–the core of our craft– is a constant reminder to appreciate and unlock the flavors and aromas that characterize the extraordinary beans we buy. Taken together with our “Color of Coffee” tasting approach, this crucial quality control step typifies our “serious but not snobby” approach.
