What’s going on?
Recent changes to U.S. trade policy have introduced new tariffs on green coffee beans imported from several key coffee-producing countries, including Brazil, Peru, Ethiopia, and Mexico. These tariffs directly increase the cost of the raw, unroasted coffee we purchase before we even roast it.

Why are prices increasing?
We’ve been doing everything we can to absorb the rising costs without passing them on to you. But these new tariffs, combined with ongoing global shipping and labor costs, have made it necessary to slightly adjust the prices on select coffee products.

How much are prices changing?
Most price changes are modest and vary by origin. We’ve carefully reviewed each product and made adjustments only where necessary, ensuring we continue to offer exceptional value while adapting to rising import costs.

Is this permanent?
Not necessarily. Tariffs can change, and we’ll continue to monitor both green coffee prices and trade policy closely. If things improve, we’ll revisit our pricing accordingly.

Thank you for understanding.
