Java Trading Company, LLC

Founded in the lush farmlands of Costa Rica more than four decades ago, Distant Lands Coffee provides the worlds finest coffees to its grocery, food service and specialty roaster clients. Distant Lands is a farmer-first vertically integrated specialty coffee company. Because we grow, mill, source and roast premium Arabica coffees, we have visibility and control at all steps of production from seed to cup. It is this control that enables Distant Lands to deliver consistent quality coffeealways. Our operating divisions include coffee farms and mills, green coffee trading, multi-national quality control services, single-serve capsule production and roasting plants in Renton, WA and Tyler, TX. We employ 160 full-time workers in the United States and over 350 in our international operations. This year we will produce and ship over 50 million pounds of specialty coffee. Since 1968, Distant Lands has grown coffee at our flagship farm Hacienda La Minita in Costa Rica. Over the years, our coffee operations have expanded to include farms and mills in both Costa Rica and Colombia. The company is a pioneer of sustainable coffee farming and milling methods. We actively share our knowledge with other coffee producers to encourage adoption of environmentally and socially sound coffee production practices.
