Dear Valued Customers,
I'm reaching out today with an update about the state of the coffee industry and its impact on our business. As many of you know, Uncle Cookie’s Coffee Company has always been committed to providing you with the highest-quality coffee at a fair price. Unfortunately, the past year has brought significant challenges to the coffee world that are now affecting us all.
The global coffee market has been hit hard by severe drought conditions in South America and Vietnam, regions that produce the majority of the world’s coffee beans. These extreme weather events have drastically reduced coffee harvests, causing coffee bean prices to skyrocket—rising approximately 50% since we first started our company. Additionally, overall inflation and increased operational costs have added to the strain on small businesses like ours.
We have worked hard to absorb these rising costs for as long as possible, but to ensure Uncle Cookie’s Coffee Company remains sustainable, we will need to make some adjustments. After January 1, 2025, we will be increasing our prices. This decision was not made lightly, and we’re truly sorry for any inconvenience it may cause. However, it’s a necessary step to ensure we can continue to provide the exceptional coffee and service you’ve come to love.
We want to give you plenty of time to stock up at our current prices before the change takes effect. This is our way of saying thank you for your unwavering support and loyalty. If you’ve been considering placing an order, now is a great time to do so. Additionally, the price of any subscriptions ordered before December 31st will not change. By signing up for a subscription now, you can lock in the best price right now.
As the holiday season approaches, don’t forget to explore our unique gift shop! We offer a curated selection of gifts perfect for coffee lovers, including exclusive blends, beautifully crafted mugs, and gift items that make memorable presents. Many of our items also come with a touch of humor—from mugs that make you laugh before your first sip to quirky shirts that will make your favorite people chuckle. Treat your friends and family to something special (and maybe even a little funny) while supporting a small business dedicated to quality and care. Holiday shopping made easy—and delicious!
Uncle Cookie’s Coffee Company wouldn’t exist without your incredible support. You are the heart of our business, and we remain committed to bringing you the finest coffee, crafted with care and love. Thank you for understanding and standing with us as we navigate these challenging times.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always here to listen and help.
Livin’ large ‘cause I’m too big to hide!
Uncle Cookie
