Since Boarding Pass Coffee started in 2020, we have managed to not raise prices
despite ongoing rising inflation and operating costs. Transparency is important to us, and we believe giving more background is important.
Recent Headlines
Coffee prices have been making headlines recently, reaching 47-year highs and
increasing by 70% in 2024 alone.
These record levels of prices are impacting everything from grocery store coffee to specialty coffee.
There are several reasons for these big price increases. Climate-related issues have led to a shortage in crop that cannot meet global demand. For example, a severe drought in Brazil and unusually dry weather in Vietnam in 2024. Fortunately, our family farm, Fazenda Santana, has not had drought because we have an irrigation system, but production costs are higher than ever for things like labor, fertilizer, and supplies, which are actually based on coffee prices.

Our Pricing
Boarding Pass Coffee cannot continue to operate under these circumstances with our current pricing.
We have not taken this matter lightly – we have worked to keep price adjustments as minimal as possible while upholding our commitment to providing superior, specialty-grade coffee. Effective December 15, 2024, prices on retail and wholesale bags of coffee will reflect these increased costs. At this point, we have not raised prices on coffee drink items, but this is under review and will be analyzed in early 2025.
We are grateful for the support of our clientele, and are proud to continue offering high-quality specialty-grade coffee!
