I will write… I hope

Hello my Friends, Family, and Fans;

I’ve been having a hard time the past two weeks with a series of migraines that have been pretty bad. I’m hoping that this is the tail end and it’ll start getting better this week.

Either way, I’m planning a Christmas story and I’m hoping to write it this week. I’m also hoping to write a story for the next Siren’s Song magazine. I’m really nervous for both of these, the first because it involves a character that’s mostly Jen’s, and the second because I’ll be writing Kennedy who is completely Jen. She’s given me permission and she’s going to help but I’m still a little worried.

I really want to write, but between background stress (which I can’t talk about) and my migraines, I’ve found it hard to actually do it. I want to change that, but we’ll see how it goes.

Stay safe and be kind,

Éric

The State of JenEric Coffee September 2024

Hello Coffee Lovers,

According to my notes, coffee prices have almost doubled since we started roasting coffee. The beans, the flavouring, the labels, the bags, con tables, and especially shipping; have all gone up by as much if not more.

The last time we increased our prices was 2016, and I was starting to think we’d have to increase our prices again.

Good news is that I think I found a solution that will help. There’s a Canadian company that makes bags that are significantly cheaper than the American company we used in the past. This will also save us duty and brokerage fees.

I’m also looking into alternate sources for flavouring and labels.

All that said, we are working hard to keep our prices competitive.

Stay tuned and we’ll have some coffee news coming in October when we’ll be celebrating our 10 year anniversary.

Stay Caffeinated,

Éric
