"Qualla Java Café is a specialty craft coffee shop located in Cherokee, NC. At Qualla Java we roast, in house, the highest grade Free Trade Organic beans sourced from the Tolima region in west-central Colombia. A region fully inscribed by the Andean mountains and the Magdalena river basin. Qualla Java was founded by a pair of Haskell Indian Nations University alumni. We love coffee. Coffee has been a staple in our lives since our time at university in Lawrence, KS. Having the opportunity to roast our own blend of coffee is a cathartic practice and gives Qualla Java full control over our product. Every day Qualla Java works to support our local community and demonstrate environmental stewardship."
