The Java variety has a rich history. Initially brought to Java in the 19th century by the Dutch under the assumption that it was Typica, it later made its way to Cameroon in the mid-20th century. Recognized for its partial tolerance to coffee berry disease (CBD), it became a valuable option for smallholder farmers in Africa. Genetic analysis revealed its Ethiopian origin as a selection from an Abysinia landrace. In 1991, it was introduced to Costa Rica by CIRAD, offering a promising solution for smallholders, even before CBD was a concern in Central America. Although distributed to PROMECAFE countries, it wasn't officially adopted.

Panama embraced Java in 2016, appreciating its quality and resilience as an alternative to Geisha. It offers better resistance to coffee leaf rust and CBD, making it a wise choice for small farmers.
