In recent months, many of you may have noticed that green coffee prices have reached an all-time high, with costs soaring over 100% in the past year alone.

So, what's behind this steep increase? The primary factor is unfavorable weather conditions affecting coffee crops in key producing countries like Brazil and Vietnam. Severe droughts and flooding have created concerns about a smaller-than-expected coffee harvest this year. As a result, prices are climbing as roasters and traders scramble to secure their stock. Simply put, while demand for coffee continues to rise in places like Ireland, climate change is making it more difficult to grow.

Despite the challenges posed by rising prices, we are committed to our partnership with the team behind our Serra do Cigano coffee from Brazil. They place a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and responsible production practices. However, the rising costs of green coffee have led to a modest increase in the price of our Serra do Cigano beans. We hope you continue to enjoy this exceptional coffee, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!
