What is “Gula Java”?
Gula Java is coconut blossom sugar from Java. Harvested by tappers high in the coconut trees (picture to the left), the sweet nectar from the coconut blossom is a cherished resource. Above the log fire, the nectar slowly changes into a delicious, unrefined rich sugar as it is gently stirred in the pan (picture to the right), allowing you to enjoy its sweetness and soft caramel flavour at any time of the day.

Gula Java (coconut blossom sugar) may be used to substitute for cane or beetroot sugar, agave, maple or syrup. You can use it to sweeten your tea or coffee and it is delicious on oven-baked apples, baked bananas, pancakes, gateaux, wafers, pastry and cakes. It is also perfect for cocktails (e.g. Mojito, Caipirinha,…) Use it to add a fancy rim of sugar to your cocktail glass, to finish your dishes and to make your Asian recipes authentic. The perfect snack for added energy.

Fairworld coconut blossom sugar, additional income for 2,000 families
For its coconut blossom sugar, Amanprana cooperates with Lestari Mandiri, Fairworld and Hivos. The Lestari association fights for the interests of small-scale farmers and their families in central Java. Hivos is a humanitarian organisation working towards a fair, free and sustainable world. The organisation also stands for equal opportunities. In the Kulon Progo province in central Java, the seat of one of Lestari’s farmers associations, we also cooperate with Fairworld, who see to it that the harvesting and production process of our coconut blossom sugar are carried out according to organic and fair trade principles. Both are members of Organic Alliance, an organisation striving for more organic produce in Indonesia. Together we aim to provide an additional income for 2,000 families in Kulon Progo and to protect their habitat. The coconut trees in their gardens now yield their own harvest. Coconut blossom sugar is recognised as the most sustainable form of sugar by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
