REGION: Penachi VARIETAL: Various FARM: Various ALTITUDE: Varies FARMER: Co-op ROAST: Medium NOTES: All Women Farmers Description Cafe Femenino Peru is a medium bodied coffee with a fine acidity, sweet aroma and hints of baker's chocolate that are accentuated by a slow, medium dark roast. Out of Peru comes a story of strength, unity and hope. A niche coffee that is changing the role of women in rural coffee communities. Female coffee growers have become better educated, organized, and for the first time are producing woman's coffee as a specialty commodity. This Fair Trade and organic certified coffee is grown, processed and traded exclusively by women. With determination and desire for a better future, over 460 women coffee producers in Peru united to take a step toward achieving empowerment. This step came in the form of growing, harvesting and producing their own coffee called Café Femenino. Organic Products Trading Company (OPTCO) along with CECANOR Cooperative, PROASSA, CICAP and Cordaid joined forces to support the women in their efforts to achieve their goals. Together, the Café Femenino Coffee Project was founded in 2004. Today, the Café Femenino Coffee Project is a social program for women coffee producers in rural communities around the world. More than 1,500 women in Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru are active in the project to achieve empowerment, build social and support networks, and earn incomes through the production and sale of the Café Femenino Coffee. The success of the Project initiated the creation of The Café Femenino Foundation, which provides grants to select programs and projects that enhance the lives of women and their families in coffee growing communities around the world. The Café Femenino Coffee is imported exclusively by OPTCO and distributed by more than 80 roasters whom pay a premium above the fair trade price. Café Femenino is high-quality, organic coffee that is left unblended to preserve the acidity, body, flavor and aroma that are unique to each Café Femenino Coffee variety. |
