...next drops, November 24th.
Coffees to rotate every Five weeks and arrive as a surprise.
We think it's more exciting to taste and learn with a completely open perspective. No pre-conceived notions. You'll get the full story and understanding of the coffees, just not right away - they will come shortly after you receive your Five pack, we promise. We'll actually provide full transparency - which you can see starts below.
The Five coffees you receive will range in expressions.
They'll be thought-provoking, competition worthy, possibly experimental, with mixtures of old-world and new-world practices, unexplored varieties and overall conversation worthy coffees. Some of the greatest sensory experience' come when we're unsure of what lies ahead, and from that builds community, curiosity and progression.
If you subscribe for 5 x Five, you'll receive 5% off all green purchases going Forward.
We have two options to present you - Green or Brown.
For $100, receive 500 grams of Green coffee OR 350 grams of Brown.
Green, your Five pack will have 5 x 100 grams of raw green coffee.
Brown, your Five pack will have 5 x 75 grams of roasted coffee.
If you subscribe for 5 x Five, you'll receive 5% off all green purchases going Forward.
Commitments to subscriptions will help us maximize this program and ensure we're getting the absolute best into your roasters, cafes or kitchens.
This is how we justify $100 for a Five pack;
~$50 landed cost of goods for the coffee selected.
If you were to purchase this from a roaster, they would likely mark this up to approximately $150. Cafes would go further to $200 or more. Since Forward is before both of those entities, we are opting to make this more accessible and share as much value onward to roasters, cafes and baristas.
For a reference as to what 500 grams at $50 covers - for 100 grams of a coffee that's $100/kg our menu, it would contribute approximately $7.5 to a $50 budget. With this budget, we can fit some phenomenal and exciting coffees into our Five packs for you to experience.
$20 for one hour of labour
this provides an approximate "living-wage" in Canada. This also factors in the costs of sourcing, roasting and quality control leading up to the program.
~$20 profit on the coffee + program
costs associated with content creation surrounding the coffees, packaging materials, such as bags and boxes, copy and any other miscellaneous will come out of our $20 profits.
$10 to cover shipping costs
For shipping on Canadian orders our shipping cost ranges between $10-15 within Canada. Any shipment exceeding $10 will have the differential come out of our profit.
Free international shipping when you order 5 x Five (or more)
For International orders shipping costs range between $30 and 75 depending on where you reside in the world. This will also cover export documents such as Phytosanitary Certification by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. With the consideration of these expenses, we are encouraging that if you are supporting the Forward Five internationally, ordering 10 x Five packs would best support this program's sustainability and help in offsetting these additional expenses. This will give Forward the opportunity to further invest in exploratory coffees at more than justified price points to producers and progress the industry's perspective Forward.
If you're purchasing the Forward Five outside of Canada and would prefer to pay in USD, we are currently offering a Five Pack for $80USD. Please send an email to Cole to make this request for payment.
