Tue May 6, 4:05 PM ET

Sacramento-based Java City will be giving Delta Air Lines a new jolt.

The coffee company beat out 14 other competitors to garner a five-year contract providing coffee on all Delta flights.

The deal calls for Delta to serve coffee in Java City cups on more than 3,500 flights, serving more than 105 million passengers a year.

The Delta deal will account for about 20 percent of Java City's coffee sales. It will also give the company, which started in Sacramento in 1985, international exposure.
