Why Fair Trade Matters

Why Fair Trade Matters

At Java Love, we believe your coffee should taste good and do good. That’s why we’re proud to be a Fair Trade Certified coffee company—and on this Fair Trade Day, we want to share why that really matters.

Fair Trade is more than just a label—it’s a movement that helps farming families around the world build better lives. For us, that means working with certified cooperatives that are paid a fair, stable price for their beans—never less than the minimum set by Fair Trade International. It's a commitment to equity, transparency, and respect for the people behind every cup.

As a small-batch roaster based right here in New Jersey, we’re deeply connected to our community—but also to the global network that makes your favorite brew possible. Choosing Fair Trade means supporting ethical farming practices, safer working conditions, and long-term sustainability for both people and the planet.

So when you sip your Java Love, you’re not just fueling your day—you’re investing in a better world. And we think that’s pretty powerful.

Free Love. Fresh Coffee. Fairly Traded.
#DoYouJavaLove
