The price of coffee is currently higher than ever. To ensure that our farmers continue to receive a fair price and that we can continue to offer you the best-quality coffee, we will be adjusting our prices effective April 8, 2025.

At BOOT Koffie, we deliberately wait to adjust our prices until we know the actual purchase prices, working directly with our partners and focusing on fair pricing, quality, and sustainability. For us, “fair” means that the price is agreed upon with our partners through direct communication and with an eye toward the bigger picture. This year, we’re seeing an average increase of 25%. We’re not passing on the full increase. The price per kilogram is rising by an average of 9%, which amounts to about 3 cents per cup.

Our Colombia Kachalu coffee comes not from one farmer, but from an entire cooperative! The entire cooperative consists of about 3,000 farmers. About 60 coffee farmers from Santander, Colombia, work together within Kachalu, a project that has been growing organic coffee in a very sustainable way since 1999. These farmers and coffees from this project are all Organic and Rainforest certified, indicating how one with nature these farmers are.

As a coffee lover, I am conscious of how much caffeine I ingest. At work I taste various coffees, just like wine you can spit this out, but unnoticed you get quite a bit of caffeine. This is why I can recommend the Colombia Kachalu Decaffeinated Organic to everyone, I know of few decafs that are this good!

In short, a fruity Limited Edition filter coffee (with caffeine) in the morning and a double espresso decaf in the afternoon. Cheers!

Ricardo explains that weather patterns are changing drastically. "In recent months we had extreme rainfall, much more than normal. This is a problem because it puts enormous pressure on the plants," he explains. When the coffee plants are almost ready to ripen their beans, they are already exhausted from the growing process. The excessive rain causes the soil to absorb too much water, preventing oxygen from reaching the roots. "The plants can no longer absorb their nutrients and do not get any energy from the sun because it stays cloudy for days," he said.

Last week we were once again at the Horecava in the RAI. This year we were at the Coffee Concepts with our booth, right next to the SCA National Coffee Contests. Needless to say, that was a great bustling place. Our team members also actively participated in several competitions.

It was great to meet so many of you in person and hear your enthusiasm about our coffee! Did you miss us, but still want to meet or collaborate? Feel free to contact us through our website for a free trial session. We look forward to hearing from you!

Vincent, Araceli, Laura and Darja invite you to have a cup of coffee together at Coffee Concepts - Stand 12.CC.11
