Bye Tin-Tie, Hello Zip-Lock

We’ve swapped the old tin-tie closure for a resealable zip-lock. Why? Because we’ve always left bags unsealed in our cafes so we can grind the beans fresh for you, but once the bag was opened, it couldn’t be resealed, especially larger beans like our Sumatra that nearly overflow the bag.

Now, with our new zip-lock design:

• We can seal coffee at the roastery
• We can open, grind, and reseal it in cafes
• You get maximum freshness and convenience

The only trade-off? A slightly smaller opening—but trust us, it’s worth it.

Why Prices Are Going Up

Let’s talk about it. The cost of green coffee is up—way up. Here’s why:

• The global coffee commodity market (aka the C market) is at an all-time high
• Extreme weather and smaller harvests are limiting supply
• Investor speculation is pushing prices even higher
• Many farmers are holding their crops, waiting for better prices

And we don’t just buy any coffee; we work directly with farmers who grow specialty-grade beans. We pay more to ensure high-quality, ethical sourcing. As prices rise, those producers are charging more, too, and we’re committed to maintaining quality, not cutting corners.

We made these changes before the recent tariffs were announced. As the situation continues to evolve, we’ll monitor it closely and adjust as needed, but for now, we’re sticking to our plan.
