WHY WE LIKE THIS COFFEE: From farms owned and managed by women. Wicked good lingering aftertaste. 

For the past three years, ASPROTIMANA has been working with women producers to establish coffee production from farms owned and managed by women. 53 women have emerged with the skills to process specialty coffee using their own micro-mills. Cultivating coffee on just a few acres of land they then work with a family owned export company whose focus is on bringing traceable micro-lots to the international market. This mutual goal has improved the quality of life for coffee producers and their families.
