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.

Canada CanadaGreat for Cold Brew
The low acidity makes for a smooth tasting cold brew that really brings out flavour.
Canada CanadaA little light for a medium roast coffee
This coffee was unexceptional. It is ok as a coffee, but far from my favourite. For a medium roast it had more grassy/hay notes typically found in a lighter roast. Espresso: It made an ok espresso, but it was difficult to get a really clean pull through my bottomless portafilter. I tried repeatedly to get a good pull but it kept fracturing. I don’t think it was quite oily enough to hold together as well as it should for espresso, even so it produced a decent crema and the flavour was ok.

This bean is a little bolder than I was expecting. The Guatemala bean is more to my liking. That being said when I mix the 2 together makes for an even better morning cup of coffee.
