News Blog: Gourmet one-offs proving popular
We now have an extra range of super gourmet coffees, mainly available through the shop. They tend to run out very quickly and we like to rotate them, and so far we have not figured out how to put them on this web site without disappointing you. We try to keep the last few kilos to pack into 250g beans only packs which last longer (as they are more expensive like this!). Lately we have had Ecuador, Malawi, and El Salvador. The next will be Ruanda, followed by Malawi again (by popular demand). Please phone the roastery if you are interested in any of these.
Coffee prices stay very firm
Coffee bean prices in the UK are caught in a triple whammy. First, the £ is weak, second, with faith in paper money low across the globe, some investors are hedging into commodities like gold - and coffee. Third, local climate disasters and poverty have diminished the supply from several sources including Colombia and Guatemala. It looks unlikely that prices will return to the levels we have seen over the last ten years. Although officially priced in dollars, it is a sign of the times that the price is clearly shadowing the euro. We are experiencing a boom in demand, as our prices are even more competitive than ever...
