You're probably thinking, "what will I do with a Five pack of coffees every month?" Well, we'd recommend you taste them and share them with your clients, your family or your friends. Start some dialogues, peak someone's curiosity and maybe they're bound for a second visit? Sell a 15 gram brew for $8-10, host a cupping, or buy a few extra Five packs and sell them at your shop for $150. Just a few suggestions.

Our aim is to make high-end coffees more accessible in the market while connecting cafes and professional baristas with progressive roasters, nudging everyone to think outside the box. These coffees are important to normalize, because simply if we can lift the ceiling and expectation for pricing in this industry, we can simultaneously lift the floor. These Five coffees plan to normalize that conversation.

We have two options to present you - Green or Brown.

For $100, receive 500 grams of Green coffee OR 350 grams of Brown.

***Shipping is included in Canada on all orders. Orders over 5 units will ship free internationally. For Brown orders, roasting will occur two days prior to shipping. See below.

 

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. Therefore 5 x Five would be $400USD and 10 x Five would be $800USD. Please send an email to Cole to make this request for payment.
