Hello and welcome to this month’s For the Love of Coffee, a blog about all things coffee exclusively for the employees of Vienna Coffee Company.
Today’s blog will focus on our featured coffee for March 2024 - Organic Fair Trade Nicaragua. The month of March is Women’s History Month, and so we are featuring a coffee that celebrates and promotes women who work in the coffee industry on the production side. This delicious coffee is grown in the Las Segovia Region of Nicaragua. The coffee cooperative which produces this coffee is called Corcosan and they have been a member of the Cafe’ Feminino program since 2017.
Since joining the Café Femenino program, the women farmers of Union Corcasan have increased their income, their ability to organize, and their leadership opportunities. Together they work to strengthen their coffee farms—the economical heart of their community—by combating coffee rust and replanting new coffee trees.
Co-founded in 2003 by Peruvian women farmers alongside Organic Products Trading Co., Café Femenino now spans the globe and continues to grow as more and more women join the Café Femenino movement. We are blessed to work with importers who work with this amazing organization which allows us to offer these coffees to our customers and share the story of Cafe’ Feminino and the work they do.
This delicious coffee features tasting notes of Chocolate, Hazelnut, and Apple. It is roasted to a medium degree and features a bright acidity and a medium body. At a recent cupping, a pleasant orange taste was also noted. All Baristas and Kitchen staff will receive a 4oz sample of this amazing coffee to take home and enjoy using the brewing method of your choice.
Have a fantastic day and thanks to each and every one of you for all you do each and every day to make Vienna Coffee such an amazing place for our customers and your fellow employees. Each one of you are awesome and truly appreciated!
It’s a great day for coffee!
