You may not think about the implications that sipping coffee has on the world economy, but your morning caffeine fix can make a tremendous difference in the lives of female entrepreneurs if you pay attention to the product. Buying women owned coffee supports women producers in countries around the globe and helps narrow the gender poverty gap. Learn about five coffees produced by women.

5 Types of Women Owned Coffees

1. Brazil FTO “Cafe Femenino”

This Cafe Femenino offering boasts a rich mouthfeel offering pulpy rich flavors that range from chocolate to earth.  For those who prefer an interesting cup, this bean stands alone very well.

2. Colombia Cauca FTO “Women Coffee Producer Program”

Lots of sugar flavor with caramel, grapefruit, apple, lemon zest and some berry flavor; sweet with juicy fruity acidity and a creamy mouthfeel. A great overall cup that you can drink and enjoy everyday.

3. Mexican Chiapas FTO “Women Coffee Producer Program”

This bean’s gentle sweetness and light acidity make it a great blender for a dark roasted Espresso.

4. Peru FTO “Cafe Femenino”

This woman-produced bean is best described by one word – balanced.  Balanced in its flavor profile featuring sweet chocolate, nuttiness.  Balanced in its light acidity and medium mouthfeel.  Excellent when blended with something more robust (think Kenya, Guatemala, or Sumatra), but its unusual fullness makes it a very drinkable coffee on its own.  A terrific value!

5. Sumatra Ipak Bensu “Women Coffee Producer Program”

A phenomenal Sumatra Fair Trade Organic coffee, this bean imparts a more grassy and herbal taste than the traditional Sumatra beans which tend towards pulpy and earthy flavors.  But its just as full bodied with a full mouthfeel and long satisfying finish.
