Organic Café Femenino Peru - Medium Roast

Twenty-one years ago, 464 women coffee producers in Peru united and changed the coffee industry forever by deciding to separate their coffee production from the men's. It was out of this action that the seeds for Café Femenino were planted, a gender-focused program to support social justice and empowerment for women coffee producers worldwide.

"Thanks to CECANOR (coffee cooperative), I now have the freedom to attend the organization's meetings, I can send my daughter to school, we have a hygienic bathroom, we have improved our processing plant, and my husband and I make decisions together. We as women do not wish to be greater than men, rather we just want to have equal opportunitites." said Erlita Baca Arce, Economic Secretary of the Women's Association of Coffee and Quinoa

About the Brand: Our brand is based in Hillsborough, NC. For more than 30 years, we've built our company one customer at a time, sharing our craft and expertise but also listening. And through all the noise, we continue to think the best way to get to know someone is over a cup of coffee. With our coffee, you'll find something that is exceptional yet accessible. It makes a statement, but we also hope it starts a conversation. We were one of the very first roasters to support the Café Femenino program, over 20 years ago. We believe in their mission: to end the cycle of poverty in coffee growing lands by giving women farmers decision making power over the coffee they grow.
