We often mention climate change as a reason why coffee is becoming more expensive. But just as important are the changes in how we source unroasted coffee (green beans):
-
Coffee must be fully traceable
-
New regulations (such as the EUDR) prohibit deforestation
-
Working conditions must be demonstrably responsible
-
Certifications have become essential prerequisites
Each of these extra steps improves the supply chain, but also makes it more intensive. And yes, that affects the price. Not because we want to make things complicated, but because we want to do them properly.
The result is coffee that may cost a little more, but also delivers more value: for the farmer, for the climate, and ultimately for you.
We source with care and roast with character, so you can drink coffee that not only tastes good, but also feels good.
