cafe femenino bolivia The contributing cooperatives are located in a valley spread around the small city of Caranavi, located 4 hours from La Paz. The trip to Caranavi, which used to take 12 hours on the old road, named “Highway of Death” for its frequency of accidents, now cruises down eastern facing slopes of the Andes Mountains on a new smooth highway. Still, most coffee producers rarely see more than just the city of Caranavi, as their small scale farms are scattered over dozens of communities throughout the surrounding mountains and hillsides. These small scale farmers focus not only on producing exceptional coffee, but also on maintaining and caring for the natural environment where they live and work. This coffee possesses a heavy, rich aroma, low acidity, smooth body, and sweet milk chocolate flavor. Medium Roast.

cafe femenino mexico The Cafe Femenino growing cooperatives arelocated in the southern highlands of Chiapas within the buffer zone of the El Triunfo Biosphere. El Triunfo is an area of great ecological importance because it contains two of the most complex and beautiful ecosystems in the world. El Triunfo’s unique ecosystems are home to an incredible quantity of plant and animal species considered rare or in danger of extinction. The cooperative members are deeply committed to sustainable agricultural practices that prevent the encroachment of agriculture into the fragile biosphere and the disturbance of the natural resources within its boundaries. The cooperatives are working hard to support the empowerment of their women members and to train them in improving their coffee production and quality. The Café Femenino program is helping to strengthen the cooperatives by creating a much stronger social cohesion in the organization, the community and within the families. These women deal with problems of lack of income due to the fact that their farms are small therefore limiting the amount of income that can be generated. The lack of income results in lack of food for the family, lack of medical care, lack of resources for clothing, education, recreation etc. Today 70% of these women must act as the head of household due to many husbands migrating to other areas in order to generate income for their families. Many of the women’s husbands never return, unable to support their families. Some of the women are also widows. This coffee is truly a treat. The cup has medium acidity, a good body, and very pleasant spicy flavors. Medium Roast.

cafe femenino nicaragua Along with a stellar cupping profile this coffee has a wonderful story that will make you appreciate and enjoy every last drop. Within a country where the machista culture is so prevalent, Nicaraguan women, especially in rural areas, are not given equal opportunities to education, self expression, control of finances, nor equal nutrition. With high rates of domestic violence, teen pregnancy, and extreme poverty, Nicaragua is the second poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. By working with a variety of women throughout the rural growing communities, Cafe Femenino and their affiliate representatives have created a support network of people who face the same daily challenges and share the desire for change. These challenges are combated through the production of the women cooperatives' own product and creating a market for which they can sell their own coffee, giving them increased value within their community, financial control, and self recognition. This Fair Trade Organic strictly high-grown coffee (SHG) is an excellent and dynamic one that you must try. It has a rich, spicy and chocolaty aroma that obligates you to witness its sweet and rich character. In the cup this Café Femenino Nicaraguan has a nice well-rounded body, delicious chocolaty flavor throughout, and is smooth from start to finish. Medium Roast.
