History
Established in 2002.
The founder’s (Kevin Kapaun) passion for coffee excellence had roots in the Caribbean Island of Jamaica in the early 1980’s. Tasting Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, his vision was created to import exclusive coffee beans from around the world. Kevin’s hobby of importing and roasting coffee in the late 1990’s for friends and family was headed for something bigger. His friend and musician, Larry Graham, (Formerly Sly & the Family Stone) encouraged Kevin to start a Roastery. SpecialtyJava.com was born and the rest is history.
Before we ever purchase our specialty beans, they have passed the expert analysis and cupping tastes of one of the world’s best specialty coffee buyers. We buy only the finest, highest grade specialty green coffee from around the world.
We continually experiment with new blends, roasting profiles, and search potential coffee varieties for addition to our offerings. We strive for perfection in every roast.
