Peru Cafe Femenino 100% Organic
Vanilla, Butter, Sweet
Peru Cafe Femenino has an aroma of chocolate almond and cashew on grinding with a maple syrup and dark chocolate flavour, a medium body and a delicate floral acidity. The coffee is fully washed and sun dried and is a blend of typica, catimor, bourbon, grand colombia & villa sarchi.
The women of CECANOR are proud to be the originators of the Café Femenino concept. While women have always been crucial to coffee production in Peru, men traditionally held the economic power. In 2004, 464 female coffee producers in Peru united to change this dynamic and take a step toward empowerment by creating the first Café Femenino co-op. They decided to separate their coffee production from men to gain visibility and a voice inside their community. Working in partnership with OPTCO, they developed a never-before-existing market for women-produced coffee to serve as an important vehicle for social change and the empowerment of poor, marginalized women coffee farmers. Since then, the Café Femenino movement now includes thousands of women farmers from nine countries across the world.
Since their first meeting in 2004, the women of the Café Femenino Peru Program have marshalled widespread social change into their communities. By overcoming a variety of barriers— including inferior societal status due to gender prejudice, adverse living conditions, and lack of self-esteem stemming from insecurities about their lack of formal education—the women have successfully stood up against generations of gender inequity.
Now, they feel proud to instil in their daughters the expectation that they will grow up to become leaders in their community—just like their mothers and grandmothers.
