At Onyx Dragon, we have always prided ourselves on offering premium, ethically sourced speciality teas, coffees, and chocolates that not only delight your senses but are made with care and respect for the environment and the communities we work with. Over the years, we’ve been able to keep our prices as accessible as possible while maintaining the high-quality, ethically sourced products you’ve come to love.
However, due to the growing costs of production and the small-batch, speciality nature of our products, we’ve made the difficult decision to increase our prices on some of our popular lines, including our teas, coffees, and chocolate products.
Why the Change?
There are several reasons behind this decision:
- Small-Batch, Speciality Nature: Many of our products are sourced in small batches, meaning that each item is crafted with extra care and attention to detail. The quality and ethical sourcing behind our speciality teas, coffees, and premium chocolates often means a higher production cost. This is something we wholeheartedly believe is worth the investment, but it does come with an associated price.
- Increased Production Costs: As many of you are aware, inflation and the rising cost of raw materials have been felt across industries. From the price of ethically sourced beans and leaves to the packaging required to keep our products fresh and sustainable, the cost of production has increased. We’ve absorbed as much of these costs as we could, but to maintain our commitment to quality and ethical sourcing, we now need to adjust our prices accordingly.
What Does This Mean for You?
The price increases will be reflected across several of our products, including:
- Teas – Expect small changes in pricing for our loose-leaf and bagged teas, which will now more accurately reflect their premium, ethically sourced and handcrafted nature.
- Coffees – Both our single-origin coffees and unique blends will see slight price adjustments to account for the premium, ethically sourced beans and small-batch roasting.
- Chocolate – Our indulgent chocolate products will also be subject to price changes, reflecting the quality and ethical sourcing of the cocoa and ingredients used.
We understand that price changes can be unsettling, but please rest assured that we are committed to providing you with the same high-quality, ethically sourced products you’ve come to enjoy. The increase is necessary to help us continue to offer the best products while maintaining our small business ethos and commitment to sustainability.
How Can You Help?
