Brazil “Cafe Femenino” – Fair Trade Organic – Archived

Taste: This Cafe Femenino offering boasts a rich mouthfeel offering pulpy rich flavors that range from chocolate to earth.  For those who prefer an interesting cup, this bean stands alone very well.

Roast: With beans this rich in character and flavors, we like lighter roasts to capture that essence.  However this bean roasts well to Medium/Dark (Full City), and is best pulled just into 2nd crack.  Bold and earthy, it also adds complexity when blended with smooth and floral beans like a Costa Ricans or some of our Colombian microlots.

About:  Cafe Femenino recognizes that women in remote and rural coffee communities face a host of challenges that keep them trapped in poverty. Many of these isolated women live in male- dominated societies and have very little financial control or decision-making power.
In 2004, 464 women farmers in northern Peru decided to change this dynamic by separating their coffee production from the men’s. In that moment, for the first time, this group of women created their own product and income. Their coffee cooperative CECANOR joined their commercial partner Organic Products Trading Company (OPTCO) to create Café Femenino—a gender-focused program to support social justice and empowerment for women coffee producers worldwide.  U-Roast-Em is proud to support this effort by providing Cafe Femenino beans, and through donations to the Cafe Femenino Foundation.
