About Java Republic

In 1999, we declared the ‘Java Republic’. This was our rebellion against the state of coffee in Ireland. We decided enough was enough. It was time to put an end to unethically sourced beans, low-quality roasting and inferior blends. In the last 20 years, Java Republic has gone from strength to strength.

Our vision is to deliver the best tea and coffee experience in Ireland, 

And our mission is to delight coffee and tea lovers everywhere, through the best people, expertise, products and services so that our clients can adapt to changes in society.
