Supply Chain issues:

The black recyclable k cup boxes remain out of stock.  We are using white.  Same size and shape.

We are testing 5lb compostable bags(no impact on your sites) with less than great results.  Trial 4 was a failure.  We have a new version that will be in testing later this week.

Fulfillment times remain shorter than normal/expected.  2-3 days for most orders on all lines.

There has been overwhelming demand for training and we will begin offering group versions of each of our 1:1 consulting sessions.  They will not be as in depth but there will be no charge for these group sessions.  The 1st will be our "Getting Your Brand Ready For Launch".  It will be offered on April 19th @ 1:00 Pacific.  The content is perfect for new brands and those struggling to get sales traction.  Email for a ZOOM invite.

Next week is the all partner meeting.  Remember we are back to the 1:00 Pacific time on the last Wednesday of each month.  This month's meeting will include: 

Supply Chain Update

Coffee Blends:  Live sample roasting and more info on how we create, maintain and roast them.

Summary of the demand side of the NCA Coffee Trends Survey (Part 1 of 2).
