Meet the women growers of Cauca

In Inzá, Cauca, an association of women producers decided to process and sell their coffee together. Shared drying beds, shared cupping, fair prices for everyone.

Why it works

Their washed Tabi tastes of citrus and black tea, and every bag carries the name of the woman who grew it.

Step by step

  1. 60 producers, one shared cupping lab.
  2. Prices set together, paid on delivery.
  3. Every lot traceable to a single farm.
