VCC named Best Coffee in Tennessee by MentalFloss

We were among an awesome list of other coffee roasters around the country on Mental Floss as one of the best coffee roasters in Tennessee. We are honored by this designation and excited to share our delicious coffee with you!

Don’t head to Nashville for the state’s best coffee. Take a trip to the Vienna Coffee Company outside of Knoxville. The small-batch roaster has everything from single-origin and estate coffees to certified shade-grown, bird-friendly, Rainforest Alliance-approved, and fair-trade beans. If you aren’t in the area to come by for a free tasting, you can always sign up for their mail-order coffee club.

This month we are featuring our Fair Trade and Organic Certified Cafe Femenino Coffee from Peru.

Café Femenino works to break-down cultural barriers that have prevented women from participating in the coffee economy by providing the women control of income, access to land ownership, and recognition for their exceptional coffee. The Cafe Femenino Program has provided a necessary structure for the women’s association to access resources to fund social projects and activities to their communities. In Peru through the years, these activities have included children’s libraries, schools, health and nutritional education, and capacity building in self-esteem, human rights awareness, and literacy.

“Now with our own brand, 'Café Femenino,’ we are able to decide how our incomes will be spent and which of our children will go to school. Our opinions are listened to and taken seriously.”
