Why Are Coffee Farmers Abandoning Organic?
We are 100% Organic Coffee Roaster, this is rare in the coffee industry. Organic production cost more to produce in the short term but we think less in the long term. Coffee prices are currently very high at the C Market, many coffee producers are not seeing the rewards they were promised when they switched to organic production, thus many are abandoning organic practices. Many roasters are not rewarding their producers with higher prices for organic practices. This has brought us to a perfect storm with our economic decline. This article by Ezra Fieser sums the situation very well.—Oliver

Ahhhh, La Florida...
If you LOVE the Colombia Finca La Florida Antonio Manuel Ovies like I do, you ought to get yourself into the shop and enjoy its luscious appeal before it runs out. These microlots of coffee are exciting, if all-too-fleeting! sigh
If you haven’t tried this coffee yet, do yourself a favor and grab a cup! Never have I experienced such rich notes of baking winter squash in a coffee. Sound strange? It’s DELICIOUS!!
Obviously, I highly recommend it :D

New Coffee & Espresso Additions
We have some new coffee and espresso selections to make a quick mention of.
Among the new releases is our batch of Bolivia Café Golondrina, this past season’s Cup of Excellence #19. We are also releasing two single origin espressos that until now have only been available to our wholesale accounts. We thought you all might enjoy them too, so they are available in 1 pound bags just for the espresso crowd. These single origin espressos should be a monthly thing from here on out, so stay tuned.
