Making a difference in the lives of family around the world... and here at home.

To make a difference not only in the lives of women in Peru, we are also partnering with Haven House for this project. With the sales of this delicious Peruvian coffee a portion of the proceeds will go to Haven House in Tennessee.

Haven House's mission is to save and change lives through the intervention and prevention of domestic violence by offering 24 hour shelter and crisis hotline, support services,  youth programs and community awareness.

This month we are featuring our Fair Trade and Organic Certified Cafe Femenino Coffee from Peru.

Café Femenino works to break-down cultural barriers that have prevented women from participating in the coffee economy by providing the women control of income, access to land ownership, and recognition for their exceptional coffee. The Cafe Femenino Program has provided a necessary structure for the women’s association to access resources to fund social projects and activities to their communities. In Peru through the years, these activities have included children’s libraries, schools, health and nutritional education, and capacity building in self-esteem, human rights awareness, and literacy.

“Now with our own brand, 'Café Femenino,’ we are able to decide how our incomes will be spent and which of our children will go to school. Our opinions are listened to and taken seriously.”

Featured Coffee: Mocca Java

With the summer heat kicking in and a few lingering cool evenings, our featured coffee this month is great brewed hot or cold to warm you up or cool you off.  Our Mocca Java has a complex, fruity, earthy, and big full-bodied taste. This is a classic from Ethiopian Harrar (traditionally shipped via Mocca and therefore also called Mocca Harrar) and Indonesia (Java).

For the rest of June get this coffee 15% OFF with your online purchase by entering the coupon code: June15Mocca at checkout.

March's Featured Coffee - Kenya AA Estate

Coffee Cooperative: WACHURI FARMERS’ COOPERATIVE SOCIETY LIMITED

According to our importer Royal Coffee, “Most of the coffees from Nyeri develop and mature slowly producing extra hard beans. This quality is evident in the cup which is why Nyeri is traditionally known as the heart of black gold coffee.” This coffee has hints of raspberry and grapefruit and screams “Sweet Corn” in the grinder. It is also very “fresh” smelling on the pour over bar.  It has a round, smooth acidity (brightness), big syrupy body and a clean crisp finish. Roasted on the light side of Full-City Roast, but not quite a City Roast. If you like this one, try one of our Ethiopian coffees next. With each of these rare coffees, you are in for a real treat! Try a bag or cup today!
