We said we would publish what buying through transparent importers actually costs us, so here it is for the twelve months to June.
| July 2025 – June 2026 | |
|---|---|
| Green coffee bought | 9,400 kg |
| Average price paid over the commodity market | 41% |
| Lots contracted a year ahead | 6 of 8 |
| Producers we have met in person | 19 |
The number we are least happy with is the last one. Meeting producers is expensive for a roastery our size, and we would rather spend the money on the premium. But the lots we have visited are the ones we understand, and it shows in how we roast them.
Next year: two more lots contracted ahead, and one trip.
