What’s New?
Java Momma is Proud to be a Member of the Direct Selling Association!
Java Momma is proud to be a member of the Direct Selling Association!!!
Exciting news! As of June 2019, Java Momma is an official member of the Direct Selling Association and we are so excited!
What does this mean, you say? Well, let me tell you all about it and what this means for our Independent Baristas and customers. When Momma, a coffee enthusiast, wanted to start her own direct sales coffee company, she identified 2 priorities:
- To create a company that was unlike any other direct sales company. She was determined to take the things she loved about direct sales and include them in Java Momma. Momma also wanted to leave out all the crap that she didn’t like about direct sales.
- Momma was determined to craft and run a company that ran on the highest of moral and ethical standards.
She achieved both!
In this digital age, it is sometimes hard to determine what, on the big ‘ole web, is legit and what is not. In the past, many MLM companies have left a bad taste in the mouth of consumers and consultants. This is challenging for the “good folks” that are working hard to develop great products, companies, and cultures; like Momma. Early on, Momma knew that she wanted to be a part of the Direct Selling Association so that baristas and consumers could rest assured that Java Momma is legit.
But what is the Direct Selling Association?
Well, let’s check out the definition found on their website:
“Direct Selling Association (DSA) is the national trade association for companies that market products and services directly to consumers through an independent, entrepreneurial sales force. DSA serves to promote, protect and police the direct selling industry while helping direct selling companies and their independent salesforce become more successful.
We started in 1910 as the Agents Credit Association by a group of representatives in Binghamton, New York hoping to resolve issues with agents unable to collect payments. Today we provide members various services from educational materials, access to industry research, networking opportunities, professional development, and other support programs. We work with Congress, government agencies, consumer protection organizations, and others on behalf of our nearly 130 member companies. One of the most pivotal roles we play is through our commitment to self-regulation and our Code of Ethics.”
In the direct sales world, the Direct Selling Association is the bee’s knees. Their mission is “To protect, serve and promote the effectiveness of member companies and the independent business people they represent. To ensure member companies’ products and the direct selling opportunity is conducted with the highest level of business ethics.”
Cool, huh?
Well, let me tell you that becoming a member and proving that a company is living up to these standards is no cup of tea, which is great! Applying to the Direct Selling Association is not a guarantee that you will become a member. In fact, less than 50% of applications each year become members.
To become a member, Java Momma had to submit tons of information about the company including and not limited to the Policies and Procedures, compensation plan, operational information, business plans, marketing plans, and adhere to a high standard Code of Ethics. And let me tell you about the Code of Ethics. “DSA’s Code of Ethics is more than a series of guidelines on a page. It’s our standard for membership and an important way that companies using the direct selling channel are held accountable to regulators, consumers, members of their salesforce and the public.” (Source: DSA website/Code Review Process).
Source: dsa.org (Code Review Process)
Java Momma submitted all the required information at the end of 2017. It takes a year to be evaluated and potentially become a member. A year after you submit, a Board of Directors reviews the company and determines if membership is approved.
And we are excited to say that we are a DSA member! Momma is thrilled to see her vision come alive and for baristas and consumers to know that Java Momma runs on the highest ethical and moral standards! Our baristas and customers can be confident in our company and this makes Momma and all of us at Java Momma proud!

Sounds yummy right? But what exactly does it mean to be half-fermented? That is just the technical old school name for Oolong tea. Oolong Tea is one of the most time-consuming teas to create. It utilizes all of the five basic steps, with rolling and oxidizing done repeatedly. These teas are anywhere from 8% oxidized to 80% (that’s measured roughly by looking at the amount of brown or red on the leaf while the tea is being made). The leaves are gently rolled, then allowed to rest and oxidize for a while. Then they’ll be rolled again, then oxidized, over and over. Over the course of many hours (sometimes days), what is created is a beautiful layering or “painting” of aroma and flavor.
Oolongs typically have much more complex flavor than Green or White teas, with very smooth, soft astringency and rich in floral or fruity flavors. Different styles of oolong tea can vary widely in flavor. They can be sweet and fruity with honey aromas, or woody and thick with roasted aromas, or green and fresh with complex aromas, all depending on the horticulture and style of production.
The name oolong tea came into the English language from the Chinese name (simplified Chinese: 乌龙茶; traditional Chinese: 烏龍茶; pinyin: wūlóng chá), meaning “black dragon tea”, in which the meaning black is generalized from crow/raven (烏), i.e. “black as a crow”. In Chinese, oolong teas are also known as qingcha (Chinese: 青茶; pinyin: qīngchá) or “dark green teas”.
This tea does contain caffeine.
The recommended infusion temperature is 212° F and then steeped for 3 minutes.
Pretty In Pink
Fruity, pink and poised is what makes this tea stand out! With candied pineapple pieces, candied papaya pieces, hibiscus petals, elderberries, beetroot pieces, strawberry pieces, guava pieces, and vanilla pieces it will make anyone blush.

Fruit tea is slightly different to other types of tea because – well – it’s not tea. We call it Tea for convenience, but fruit tea is simply dried fruits, sometimes with spices or flowers and herbs added.
If a fruit tea is prepared right, it should be naturally sweet and fruity, full of flavor. Dried fruit stewed in water has been consumed for centuries, it can be very refreshing and energy boosting. Fruit tea is packed with vitamins and antioxidants and is great for cleansing the body of toxins and keeping the immune system strong. In that aspect, it’s very similar to tea leaves, with regard to still having high levels of health benefits.
This tea contains no caffeine | Steep at 212° for 5-10 minutes.
Hey there hot-tea
This herbal blend with carrot pieces, peppermint leaves, licorice root, nana mint, and lavender blossoms will have anyone all steamy!
Hey there hot-tea close up
Herbal tea is an infusion or blend of various leaves, fruits, bark, roots, or flowers belonging to almost any edible, non-tea plant. In Europe and other areas of the world, herbal teas are commonly known as tisanes.
Herbal teas have existed for a very long time, but have surged in popularity over the past several decades thanks to their vibrant flavor, as well as their myriad mental, emotional, and physical health benefits. In an increasingly stressful and chaotic world, herbal teas present an opportunity to go back to basics and focus on wellness through a holistic approach.
Because they can be created from almost any combination of natural ingredients, there are a vast number of herbal tea varieties Each with their own flavor qualities and health benefits. The wide array of aromas and tastes delight the senses, while their healing properties have been lauded by traditional medicine for centuries.
This tea contains no caffeine | Steep at 212° for 5-10 minutes.

We get it, that’s frustrating for everyone involved! We had to stop the madness and have had requests from many of our baristas for more mugs so our founder, Melissa did something big & scary and reached out to Rae Dunn herself asking if we could carry her line and she directed her to the merchant inquiries… and here we are excited and totally obsessed with all the new items in our brand new Rae Dunn clay. collection!
