About the coffee:
From eighteen women producers near the town of Quom in Huehuetenango.
HER Coffee was created by our importer partner Hacea, to elevate the voices of women in the global market, offering a path to recognition and fair access to the U.S. specialty coffeemarket while honoring the exceptional quality they bring to every harvest.
HER Coffee is a new program dedicated to amplifying the voices of women in coffee. While women contribute nearly 70% of the labor involved in growing, harvesting, and processing coffee, they often face significant barriers to accessing global markets. HER Coffee was created to change that by sourcing directly from women producers and bringing their coffees to roasters across the U.S. The program opens doors for producers to showcase their craft, gain recognition for the quality they deliver, and grow their presence in the specialty market.
HER Coffee directly funds women's health initiatives.
By choosing HER Coffee, roasters and consumers are directly supporting women’s health at origin. For every full bag of green coffee sold, our importer makes a donation to Grounds for Health that provides one cervical cancer screening kit. One bag equals one kit—helping women in rural coffee-growing communities access life-saving screenings and treatment for a disease that is entirely preventable with early detection.
