Organic Fair Trade Café Femenino Peru

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 FLAVOR NOTES: Tamarind, Creamy, Brown Sugar ORIGIN: CECANOR Co-op, Lambayeque, Peru ROAST LEVEL: Medium PROCESS: Washed CERTIFICATIONS: USDA Organic and Fair Trade USA PACKAGING IN ENGLISH ONLY.
