Café Femenino Whole Bean Coffee
Café Femenino Coffee was born out of a grassroots movement to give women coffee farmers the credit and the voice they need to build a better future. The brand is founded on a first-of-its-kind ethical sourcing model that pays women farmers directly for their beans. This ensures that women get their fair share, improving the quality of coffee and the quality of lives for coffee producers.
