RELATIONSHIP
COFFEE
Relationship coffee is sourced from farmers with whom we have direct contact. Our Roastmaster travels to the farms to sample the quality and grade of their coffee, ensuring that the farm is managed in accordance with social and environmental guidelines. Java City and the farmer agree on a price for the coffees and sign long-term contracts. This ensures quality coffee supplies to Java City and gives the farmers financial stability to further invest in equipment and farm resources, while providing a fair wage to their employees.
Guatemala Oriflama
 Finca Oriflama is a fourth generation family farm located at 4,500 feet above sea level within the Volcanic San Marcos coffee region of western Guatemala. Java City has developed a direct relationship with this farm owner and both parties benefit from this relationship–Java City is ensured a long-term supply of coffee that meets our stringent quality standards, while the farmer is guaranteed a fair price for his crop and long-term sustainability of his farm.
As part of our direct support, our Roastmaster has enabled the farm to produce higher quality coffee and improved processing techniques through consultation, education and sharing of ideas. Establishing close relationships with farmers has also enabled us to invest directly back into their farms and their communities. Last year Java City launched a flagship project with Finca Oriflama providing a nutritional supplement for the farm workers and their families.
