| 2007-06-05 14:38:39 |

Old Brown Java (OBJ) is unique in that the green beans are aged (left lying around in a warehouse?) for 2 or 3 years before being roasted. During this time, they turn from green to brown (hence the name). This ageing process imparts a truly unique flavour (liquorice and tobacco are often noted) that many [...]......
