Celebrating Women Coffee Farmers
Each spring, California-based Peet's Coffee celebrates its anniversary by crafting a coffee that gives back to a community at origin. This year's Anniversary Blend, packaged in a distinctive purple bag, specifically highlights and supports women coffee farmers. With every cup of Anniversary Blend, consumers help support Women’s Entrepreneurship in Huila, Colombia, says Doug Welsh, vice president, coffee, at Peet's. "From business skills to income diversification, supporting the women of Coocentral cooperative means supporting the entire region," he says.
Made up of two washed coffees grown by women farmers in Rwanda and Colombia, the blend is an aromatic dark roast of floral and fruity flavors with chocolate notes. You can buy it online or at participating Peet’s coffee bar locations for $20 per pound and at www.peets.com at $19.95 per pound.To learn more, visit here.
