Primavera Sisterhood
Primavera Sisterhood is a chocolate-forward coffee from Huehuetenango, Guatemala that celebrates the efforts of women who produce coffee in the region. Made up of coffees grown across five different women-owned farms, this lot from sustainability-focused supplier Primavera Green Coffee exists to further elevate women in the coffee supply chain. In fact– when roasters purchase this coffee, a portion of the price goes to fund workshops that are targeted to women coffee producers, so that they can access key agronomy and post-harvest processing training.
Primavera Sisterhood has a classic, Guatemalan chocolate and nut profile with juicy red apple flavors. Being a milder coffee, it pairs well with milk or cream and performs spectacularly in a French Press or other immersion brewing method. That said, a filter method like automatic drip would make this a perfect daily drinker in the morning.

From our exporting partner, Primavera Green Coffee:
Primavera Sisterhood is a twist on our popular regional blend from Huehuetenango. Gender equity is a longstanding challenge for the coffee industry; women coffee growers have less access to land, credit, training, and basic education even as women make key contributions to plant care, harvest, and processing coffee. Research has shown that when women are empowered to make decisions, including financial decisions about their coffee farms, families and community are more successful and their needs are better met.
We purchase 84 and 85 point coffees from smallholder farmers in Huehuetenango each year to blend into a balanced, classic profile for coffee roasters around the world - each unique lot has full transparency and is traceable to the farm level. For the Sisterhood blend, we used these same guidelines but selected only coffees produced by women coffee farmers. Extra funds for this coffee go to putting on workshops for women producers.
Women producers who contributed to this lot: Trinidad Lucia Mendoza, Josefa Evelia Hernandez, Maria Cardona, Iris Liseth Cano Merida, Celia Andrea de Leon
