A Story of Relationships

The Journey

small farms

Ethical Trading Standards

It all starts with finding truly great specialty coffees for you and doing so in a manner that does not harm the environment or mistreat the small landholders. Ethically sourcing our coffee is a collaboration with farmers and processors that invest an incredible amount of time and energy to produce something we will all be proud to offer.

It is my commitment that the growers who do the best work adhering to environmental standards and fair treatment of their workers will receive the best price I can offer.

Handcrafted, Small Batch Roasting

The goal of each roast is to bring out the best of what’s inherent in each particular coffee. Small batch roasting allows me to draw out things like acidity, floral notes, chocolate, molasses, and earthy notes.

Continuing to roast past a certain point, you begin to taste flavors added by the roast process. Now many people love that roasty flavor, and for those fine people, we offer our dark roasts. You can still taste the lovely inherent qualities of the coffee, but you also are tasting more caramelization of the sugars. The key here is balance.

relentless evaluation

Never Less Than Our Best

Bringing you exceptional coffee requires monitoring every step. Coffee under our care is in a controlled environment and sampled at each step.

We have long-standing relationships with people that travel the world to evaluate and select the coffee we buy. Over the years we have come to trust that their offerings are the best of the best Arabica beans available.

To be sure the quality remains at the initial high standard, samples are pulled and cupped at each waypoint on the bean's journey to you.

Within 24 hours after roasting, your coffee begins its journey to you.

Our Town

Our roastery is located on a peaceful, winding mountainside street of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This is a town of art galleries, boutiques, spas, historic hotels, and restaurants. I like to think we fit right in.

It’s been our privilege to work hand in hand with the high-quality restaurants in town, and we’ll continue to do our part to make dining in Eureka a memorable experience. But you don’t have to live here to enjoy a cup; we will gladly send you coffee that’s so fresh it’s warm from roasting when it starts its journey to you.

We're glad you found us online and hope you give us a shot. Our greatest reward is making you a happy coffee connoisseur.

About Our Roast Master

I'm Belén, owner of nuJava Coffee Company.

Coffee found me ten years ago at an unexpected time and in an unexpected way. In that moment ten years ago, my passion was ignited.

I've lived in California, Arizona, and Vermont before moving to Eureka Springs to take over nuJava from the owners who were ready to retire. In all those places, coffee has inspired me, comforted me, connected me with people and places. I'm not only interested in roasting good coffee for you, I'm interested in the communities that form around coffee at the micro and macro level, both local and global. I want my coffee to be the fuel that helps invigorate your thinking processes and creativity. When I roast coffee, I'm thinking about the makers, creatives, farmers, artists, carpenters, activists, teachers, and outdoor enthusiasts. People like you who inspire me to roast great coffee so you can keep doing great things. I am honored to be a part of your coffee ritual.
