More Info
About Cafe Femenino The story of Caf Femenino began in 2004 when women farmers from northern Peru began talking with their cooperative leaders about their desire to separate their coffee from the mens. These female members of Cecanor felt they put more care into their production, creating a superior product and wanted to know if there might be a market for womens coffee. Cecanor, having already established a partnership with Organic Products Trading Co. over the previous 10 years, collaborated with us to see how we might organize a womens only coffee for the international marketplace. Together we developed a full social program with the goal to empower female farmers using the production and sale of their own product as the vehicle to create social change. Today the Caf Femenino Program continues to have a huge impact in the daily lives of women around the world and creates greater gender equality in families, cooperatives, and communities.

CanadaThis coffee has a heavily roasted smell and flavour which is to be expected of a dark roast. I tried repeatedly and with various methodologies to make a decent cup of coffee from this and was completely unsuccessful. No matter what I tried, longer/shorter extraction, coarser/finer grind, higher/lower brew temperature, it came across very bitter with a heavy over roasted taste lingering in the back of the throat. I could not honestly recommend this as a brewed coffee. On the other hand it made a very good espresso. The crema was rich and a beautiful caramel to fresh rust colour. A strong aroma preceded a full, velvety mouth feel. I generally prefer sweeter espresso’s and this one pushed the border between my preference and the very dark bitter French roast style.
CanadaThe coffee has a nice taste and finish it's just not the dark roast I was expecting. I would call it more a medium-dark roast.
CanadaThis was the first time in purchasing this coffee. The first thing I noticed was the amazing aroma! What followed was a very smooth flavour. Not acidic, and not overly strong...just right. Even though I usually go for the bold flavours, I found this to be quite satisfying.
CanadaWe have been purchasing dark roast coffee beans from Starbucks for years. I thought I would give the Mexico Cesmach dark roast a try along with my regular order of espresso beans. As advertised this is an excellent bean for our French press. The beans had been roasted six days ago and that makes all the difference as far as I'm concerned. Bye Bye Starbucks!
CanadaThis is the best dark roast coffee.Love the flavour
