Features

• THE VILLAGE: When it comes to producing exceptional coffee, it truly takes a village. Women are a tremendously influential part of the global coffee community, making up 70% of the labor in field work and harvesting-detail-oriented roles which ultimately translate to excellence in the cup. However, women face steep challenges when it comes to equitable access to career growth, land, education, and credit, representing just 20-30% of farm ownership. The Village is a celebration of women in coffee, composed of seasonally-rotating selections from valued relationships with female producers and cooperatives, aimed at highlighting and addressing this gender gap.
• WOMEN-PRODUCED COFFEE: According to strong research, investing in women increases the sustainability of coffee everywhere-women are more likely to reinvest their income back into their families, their coffee businesses, and their communities. And when access to decision-making and the global marketplace improves for women farmers, quality improves too.
• COFFEE DETAILS: Currently, The Village features the Ejo Heza womens cooperative in Rwandas Western Province, a subset of the larger Kopakama Cooperative, which was founded in the years following the Rwandan genocide. This coffee presents a wonderfully complex tasting experience, with layered acidity and lots of brown sugar sweetness and viscosity from start to finish. The flavors shift as the cup cools, with soft florals such as apple blossom and bergamot, that evolve into vibrant, juicier fruits like white grape, fresh apricot, and yellow peach. Its a lively and pleasant coffee, with many facets to enjoy each time its brewed.
• JOE COFFEE COMPANY: We are a New York-based collection of specialty coffee shops, with a roastery in Long Island City, Queens. Ever since we opened our first caf in Greenwich Village in 2003, we have been relentlessly dedicated to the pursuit of high quality coffee, sustainable sourcing and warm hospitality.
