Java Republic began trading in September 1999 with BES support and assistance from Bank of Ireland Enterprise Support and Enterprise Ireland. In 2007, the Company raised €1 million through a BES scheme through Cronin & Company Accountants and was backed with €6 million from Bank of Ireland to build its new premises. The development of the new Roastery will achieve growth through the complete brand experience of the handroasting process and manufacturing which is both unique and educational.
At Java Republic we roast coffee by hand and have an obsession with quality. We source our grade 1 Arabica beans under Coffee with a Conscience which forms part of our Corporate Social Responsibility Programme and we give 11% of our nett profits to back to coffee growing communities. We also believe that the environment and the day to day running of the business is better served by our brand house: the world’s first carbon neutral coffee roastery.
We believe that it is essential to show local and international business clientele the passion, care, quality and ethics that we put inot the business through our processes: from the ethical sourcing of Grade 1 Arabica beans, our artisan handroasting process, unique cooling process, trade-first same day packing for freshness, cupping of award-winning coffees, sourcing of real whole leaf teas and lastly training (which is required by good quality foodservice businesses and demanded by quality conscious consumers) to deliver the perfect cup of coffee in an environment that is fresh, relaxing and a showcase to a good business model.
