Quick October Update

Not a newsletter as such, this is a quick update to let you know of some forced changes and new opportunities.

First, supply chain disruptions mean that we can't get any Kenya AA green coffee for a few months. We’ll be temporarily substituting this in our range with Tanzania AA, which has a similar flavour profile.

My cupping notes versus the Kenya read "Slightly less acidity on the front palate but a fuller body through the middle palate. Aftertaste is less blackcurrant and more pineapple. Overall smooth and quite aromatic."

The next item is something new. We now have access to compostable (as opposed to recyclable) coffee bags in 250g and 500g capacities. These bags will biodegrade in home compost heaps and landfills. The only issue is that they're somewhat expensive, so even when we absorb some of the extra cost it would still add about 50 cents per bag overall. Please let us know if you're interested. If we get enough positive feedback we'll give them a shot.

Australia Post's delivery schedules for Standard Post just keep stretching every day, however Express Post remains a very speedy proposition. Please remember that the reason we need a valid email address with your order is so we can send you both a Tax Invoice (required by law) and a parcel tracking number. This at least means you have some idea of when your coffee will arrive.
