☕ Why Your Morning Coffee Costs More in 2025: Inflation, Tariffs, and the Real Story Behind Rising Coffee Prices
If your favorite bag of coffee has crept up a few dollars recently, you're not imagining things. At Seven Coffee Roasters, we’ve seen firsthand how global forces are making your daily brew more expensive—and we think you deserve to know why.
📈 Inflation and Global Supply Chain Woes
Coffee, like many commodities, is feeling the squeeze of global inflation. From rising fuel prices to increased labor costs, every step in the journey—from farm to cup—has gotten more expensive.
In key growing regions like Hawaii, Colombia, and Ethiopia, farmers are paying more for fertilizers, packaging, and shipping materials—costs that get passed along the chain.
🌎 Tariffs and Trade: What’s Changing in 2025
Recent shifts in U.S. trade policy introduced new tariffs on agricultural imports from several coffee-producing countries. While these tariffs aim to support domestic agriculture, they also drive up costs for imported green coffee—especially specialty-grade beans.
As a small-batch roaster focused on quality and traceability, this directly affects us. When tariffs rise, we either absorb the cost or raise prices to continue sourcing exceptional coffee.
🚢 Climate Disruptions and Shipping Delays
Coffee crops depend on stable climates, but we’re seeing more disruption than ever. Droughts in Brazil, unexpected frosts, and bottlenecks at global ports have reduced supply and driven up prices.
For us, that means paying a premium to secure reliable, high-quality beans.
