Peru “Cafe Femenino” – Fair Trade Organic – Archived

Taste: This Peru “Cafe Femenino” woman-produced bean is best described by one word – balanced.  Balanced in its flavor profile featuring sweet chocolate, nuttiness.  Balanced in its light acidity and medium mouthfeel.  Excellent when blended with something more robust (think Kenya, Guatemala, or Sumatra), but its unusual fullness makes it a very drinkable coffee on its own.  A terrific value!

Roast: A softer bean that shines in a medium (City Roast) profile.  Avoid 2nd crack if you can.

About: 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 a proud partner of the Cafe Femenino Foundation and is honored to provide these outstanding beans to our customers.
