Feb 2026

I buy from a friend who is a roaster and sells only fair trade coffee, therefore my choice to buy from him. I get 5lbs at a time, takes me around 6 months to go through it. I ordered some in late 2024 before the tariffs and paid $75 including shipping. Last spring I ordered and it was $99 including shipping. Yesterday I ordered again and it was $115!! Including shipping. The coffee itself was $99/5lbs of organic, fair trade.

At some point I may ween myself off of coffee and use some herbal tea that I can harvest locally.
