They brought coffee trees to places like Bali and Sumatra, where it's still grown today. Another island they began planting coffee on was Java, and it's from this island that the name “java” arose. It's not known specifically known how the term was first used.

For example, the mocha java blend is quite mild with notes of chocolate and fruit, popular with consumers who prefer subtle and sweeter flavours. Whereas the island's infamous old brown java coffee beans boast more aromatic flavours like cedar and spices such as clove or cinnamon.

We've been using Java Works for about five years now and it's the only coffee we buy. Selection is great, the caramel macchiato is our go-to coffee along with the organic swiss-water de-caf. The coffee is always delicious, smooth, and as my wife says, 'super yummy!'

Your morning java may provide some health benefits that go beyond helping you get out of bed. Research has shown there are many health benefits of drinking coffee, from protecting against type 2 diabetes, liver disease and Parkinson's disease to promoting heart health and recovering from a hard workout.
