We dropped the price of our Colombia. Here's the honest reason

A bumper harvest at Finca Las Brisas means our everyday house coffee now costs less — without cutting a single corner.

Prices usually only move one direction, so when one goes the other way we think it's worth explaining. As of this week, our Colombia Las Brisas drops from $19 to $16 a bag. Here's exactly why.

Las Brisas is a family farm in Huila that we've bought from for four years running. It's the coffee we put in nearly every flat white we pour — dependable, sweet, the kind of cup that's good before you've woken up enough to judge it. This season, the farm had its best harvest in a decade: more cherry, picked riper, with almost no weather loss.

Lower cost in, lower price out

A bigger harvest means our green price per kilo came down, and our shipping cost per bag came down with it. Rather than quietly keep the margin, we'd rather keep you buying the coffee you already drink every day. So the saving goes on the shelf, not into the spreadsheet.

When the math works in everyone's favour, the only honest thing to do is pass it along. — Dario, on the new price

Nothing about the coffee has changed. Same farm, same washed process, same medium roast tuned for milk and moka pots alike. The only difference is the number on the bag.

What it tastes like

Milk chocolate, toasted almond, and a round red-apple sweetness. It's forgiving across brew methods — espresso, moka, French press, drip — which is what earns it the "house coffee" title in the first place. If you want a bag you never have to think about, this is it, and now it's an easier yes.

Dario Marek founded the roastery in 2014 and still buys most of the green coffee himself.
