Café Justicia will be roasting coffee soon. If you want fresh coffee, please send us your order by Friday, January 27. Our ordering email is edu.in.action@gmail.com. Please indicate the quantity and format in your order.

PLEASE NOTE that we have a new coffee price of CAD$16.00 per Lbs.

Our coffee production costs have increase by more than 50% and it was necessary to increase our price. Our 2022 coffee pricing was based on the 2021 coffee harvest and shipping costs. We are into the 2022 coffee harvest and unfortunately, its associated costs. We hope you understand and will continue to support us.

Season Greetings Everyone
