Navigating Rising Costs in the Coffee Industry
Posted on January 14 2025,
🌿 A Note From Our Roastery 🌿
As a local coffee roastery, we’re committed to bringing you quality, sustainably sourced coffee. Recently, the cost of coffee beans has surged due to global challenges like droughts, supply chain issues, and market speculation. These rising costs have impacted roasters across the industry, making it difficult to avoid price adjustments.
In 2024, coffee bean prices reached historic highs—up 38% for many roasters—due to factors like climate change, global droughts, shipping disruptions, and growing demand worldwide. For coffee roasters like us, these spikes have made it harder than ever to maintain our commitment to quality without adjusting prices.
While we’ve worked hard to absorb costs by cutting back on extras, negotiating better terms, and finding efficiencies, the reality is that these increases affect every part of our business. We’re making every effort to avoid significant price changes, but sustainability—both for our roastery and the coffee farmers we work with—must remain a priority.
We want you to know that any adjustments are made with care and a commitment to quality. We’ll never compromise on the rich flavors and ethical sourcing you love. Thank you for your understanding, loyalty, and support through these challenging times. Together, we can continue to savor every cup.
☕ Cheers to brighter days and the exceptional brews that bring us together!
