WHAT IS CAFE FEMENINO?

With desire and determination to create a better future, over 460 women coffee producers in Peru united to take a step toward empowerment and independence by growing, harvesting, and producing their own coffee. Appropriately, they decided to call their coffee Café Femenino. Today more than 1,500 women in Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Brazil, Mexico, and Peru are all a part of Café Femenino.

The Café Femenino Foundation and related co-operatives offer hope and education, and continue to nurture and grow self-confidence and independence. The individual co-op not only maintains a watchful eye on their current producers, but continues to seek and initiate programs and standards to change the unfairness and long-overlooked circumstances of mistreated women and children throughout all coffee producing countries of the world.

BJ’s Coffee Roasters is committed to supporting these determined women and their organization. As a way for us to complete the circle of hope, we donate a portion of the proceeds from the sales of Café Femenino coffee to Open house Ministries in Vancouver, WA. You are part of this circle of support and hope. Thank you. ENJOY!
