We often talk about climate change as a reason for more expensive coffee. But just as important are the developments in sourcing unroasted coffee (green beans):
- Coffee must be fully traceable
- New regulations (such as EUDR) prohibit deforestation
- Working conditions must be demonstrably responsible
- Certifications have become essential prerequisites
Each additional step improves the supply chain. But it also makes it more intensive. And yes, that affects the price. Not because it needs to be complicated, but because we want to do it right. The result is coffee that may cost a little more, but also yields more — for the farmer, for the climate, and ultimately for you as well.
We source with care and roast with character, so you can drink coffee that not only tastes good but also feels good.
