about

Straight up: Some changes need to happen, to ensure the future of specialty coffee. You’ve probably heard that before. You probably, you know, basically know all the details, right?


During this informal, get-informed evening, we’ll be serving two coffees that have just landed and come from projects that focus on areas of coffee life we think are essential to coffee’s future: young people, gender equality, climate-change response and producer profitability.

 

Using the coffees as a launch point, we hope to answer questions, ask questions and offer facts and talking points that all of us can share when we discuss the intimate links between climate, gender, producer empowerment and the future of this industry we love.

MEET THE COFFEES

Guatemala San José Poaquil HRNS

In 2015, non-profit coffee foundation Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung (HRNS) brought its framework for change to the region of Chimaltenango, with the goal of providing 1,000 coffee families with tools to improve their quality of life. Embracing the trainings and opportunities offered by HRNS and its partners, the producers, on average, increased their yields by 56 percent and their incomes by 28 percent.

 

Cupping notes: Bright acidity, smooth body and notes of orange zest, chocolate, strawberries and almonds. (Full details)
