Lenca Women in Honduras

Sometimes in my origin travels I have encountered examples of gender discrimination so random and unjustified as to leave me speechless. The husband who told his wife she wasn’t intelligent enough to learn how to drive and so kept her a virtual prisoner on their remote coffee farm. And there strapped large sacks of heavy coffee cherry to her back, making her carry them up steep mountain roads as his personal pack mule. Really??? How many women have I seen at origin who barely schooled to 4th grade?

If I favour women coffee farmers who produce high-quality coffee, it’s simply to give them a chance to even the playing field a bit. And bring you, coffee lovers, a taste of something all the sweeter for the meaning it might have in an origin country somewhere.


Our Honduras washed Arabica serves the triple whammy purpose of 1) having delicious, chocolatey notes; 2) being produced by a women’s cooperative whose objective is to create equal opportunities for its members and 3) those women being Lenca, an indigenous population. Oh, and to top it all off, the coffee is organic.


In their words: “we seek a sustainable process that gives hope, employment and income to Lenca peasant women.”

Sweet Bean Coffee is a Swiss company & roastery that provides freshly-roasted, high-quality coffee beans and more from around the coffee world.
 

Our vision is to bring high-quality specialty coffee to more coffee lovers, whilst supporting women coffee farmers around the world.
Quality is the first requirement when we choose a coffee. But, all things being equal, if we can find the quality we need, produced by women farmers, then that will be our first choice.

In our eyes, coffee is a journey. It’s an exploration of taste. But more than anything, it’s a moment of pure and satisfying pleasure. It’s a solitary moment of peace in the morning. Simple comfort. With this in mind, we freshly hand-roast and pack your coffee every week, ensuring you enjoy each and every sip.
