Java Original® Coffee has a long history.
In 1840, during the Dutch colonial era of Indonesia, Peter William Hofland purchased the Pamanoekan and Tjiasem Lands (also known as P & T Lands) near Subang (West Java) from Charles Forbes, the owner of Forbes & Co of Bombay (British India). The Pamanoekan and Tjiasem Lands, one of the most extensive freehold properties in Indonesia, were given special autonomy rights to manage and establish its own independent government.
Hofland was born on September 2, 1802 in Jagannadhapuram (Daatijeroon) (Cocanada) Godavery, Madras (British India). Compelled by the British colonial government, he moved to Java, where, in 1833, he received a lucrative contract from the Dutch colonial government to cultivate sugar in Surabaya (East Java). Hofland was considered a charitable landowner who providing adequate wages to indigenous people who wanted to work on plantations (traditionally called 'coffee gardens') owned by Pamanoekan and Tjiasem Lands.
Being the owner of the freehold property, Hofland also greatly benefited the local residents by refusing to implement the forced cultivation system (known as 'cultuurstelsel'), a revenue system that forced farmers to pay revenue to the treasury of the Dutch colonial government in the form of export crops or compulsory labor, introduced in 1830.
Hofland, who was a recipient of the Order of the Dutch Lion (Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw), one of the oldest and highest Dutch civil orders established by King William I on September 29, 1815, died on February 5, 1872 in Subang (West Java).
