Vedat Bulut founded Old Java in Galata in 2014 as a roastery, consultancy and online shop, and argued from the start that good coffee sellers deal with farmers directly. Coffee still comes partly from producers and partly from importers, with Huila lots chosen in the field. The business has since grown a green-coffee arm, OJCR International, which in 2026 began bringing in Huila cooperative lots with Majestic Coffees, and it is the Turkish distributor for Bellwether's electric, chimney-free roasters.
On Tatar Beyi Sokak, a narrow cobbled street a few minutes' walk from the Galata Tower, the left door opens onto a wood-slat counter and the right leads through the seating to a dark back room, where green coffee sacks are stacked in a nook.
