n the Ijen Plateau, there are two plantations managed by PT Perkebunan Nusantara XII — Kalisat Jampit Plantation and Blawan Plantation. Both estates are well known for cultivating Arabica coffee. The Arabica coffee from the Ijen Plateau is internationally recognized as Java Coffee. Its taste is mild, with a balance of bitterness and a slightly sour note, unlike Robusta coffee, which tastes purely bitter.

One of the most interesting places to visit in this area is the Jampit Coffee Plantation, which also features a 6-hectare strawberry garden. To reach the plantation, you can start from the three-way junction in Sempol and travel about 14 kilometers. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by scenic views of coffee plantations stretching across the hills.

In the Jampit area, there is a historic building that now serves as a guest house. Although located in a remote area, the Jampit Guest House is well known among foreign visitors. The guest book records guests from France, the Netherlands, and England, many of whom describe it as the “Holland House” because of its charming European-style flowers that decorate the garden. The Jampit Plantation lies at an altitude of 1,100 to 1,600 meters above sea level.

During the Dutch colonial period, this old building served as a residence for high-ranking officials. Its architectural style is unique, as it was built mostly from wood. The second floor features a wooden floor and functions as the living room, kitchen, dining area, and fireplace. From its windows and veranda, visitors can enjoy beautiful views of blooming flowers and the surrounding mountain landscape.
