THE LOGISTIC DILEMMA

This month we have received many messages from roasters asking when the new coffees we have selected in Peru and Indonesia will be arriving to our Barcelona warehouse. And the answer is not easy to articulate. 

We have recently read that due to the logistical problems that conflict the world these days, the American multinational Amazon is innovating in its logistics supply chain by reforming twin-engine aircraft to adapt them for cargo and leasing container ships to be able to fulfil their orders and avoid the traffic jams that we are seeing in all the ports of the five continents since last year.

The logistics situation is currently critical for the rest of the companies that are not Amazon. The range of problems goes from record prices for shipments from Peru, to the total lack of space in vessels coming from Indonesia. So, we must think out of the box here to be able to move coffee around the world during these troubled times. However, there are some options to bring these coffees into your roastery, and we are already working on the logistics alternatives that will allow us to import these coffees safely, quickly and cost-efficiently.

While we figure out how to solve this dilemma, we have excellent Kenyan and Ethiopian lots in all our locations, so you can enjoy some of the best coffees in the world with your customers this holiday season.

Enjoy your coffee, thanks for your patience and Merry Christmas!
