The specialty coffee industry globally has been hit hard by this pandemic and are thoughts are with those who are sick, closed, in lockdown or facing staffing problems.
We value every coffee shop, farmer, importer, exporter, restaurant, bakery, hotel and roasteries working during these times and your support in keeping independent businesses going is key to survival.
