After a fitful 2022, when a wave of pent-up wanderlust crashed over hot destinations, overwhelming hotels and airlines, 2023 seems like a chance to give up revenge travel and reset.

In recent years, it’s become increasingly important for roasters to focus on sustainability – in terms of sourcing traceable and ethical coffee, as well as their environmental impact.
