Mocha Java

The oldest recorded coffee blend. Coffee was first grown in Ethiopia, but wholesale commercial export from the region began on the Arabian Peninsula through the port of Mocha. The Dutch later began cultivating and exporting coffee from the island of Java. Once blended it was discovered that the Mocha and Java coffees complimented each other for a more balanced cup.

You got it Robert (except some historians side with the Yemeni over Ethiopians, as the first cultivators and drinkers of coffee, but same region).
I might mention, for those who don’t know, that Java is the main island in the Indonesian archipelago.
Cheers.
