Hey there, I'm Jes, the coffee enthusiast behind Laka Java. My journey with coffee began amidst the bustling atmosphere at one of the nation's largest coffee companies, where I was captivated by the aroma of freshly roasted beans and the artistry of a perfectly brewed cup. It was there that I experienced the simple joy of receiving half-pound bags of beans as an employee perk – each batch arriving at my desk still warm from the coffee roaster, filling the air with an irresistible aroma. However, upon leaving, I found myself on a quest to rediscover that unmatched freshness in my daily cup. Unable to find coffee that quite met those standards, I embarked on a mission to bring that same exhilarating experience of roast-to-order coffee directly to your door. Thus, Laka Java was born, fueled by my passion for exceptional specialty coffee and a commitment to delivering the finest, freshest beans to fellow coffee lovers everywhere.

At Laka Java, we're not just passionate about coffee, we're also committed to protecting our planet. That's why we're proud members of 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of our profits to environmental causes. Furthermore, we're dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint by using 100% compostable coffee bags, ensuring that every cup you enjoy with us is not only delicious but also eco-friendly. From the moment Laka Java beans are sourced to the second they arrive at your doorstep, our mission is to deliver an unparalleled coffee experience that brings joy and excitement with every brew while also contributing to a healthier planet.

So join us on this journey where passion meets sustainability, and let Laka Java elevate your coffee ritual to new heights – one cup at a time.

☕️ Jes
