PRIMAVERA SISTERHOOD GUATEMALA

£11.50

A staggering 70% of labour within coffee production is provided by women, yet women still suffer from systematically lower access to financial resources, land and education, when compared to male counterparts. With such a majority of work carried out by women it should be the industry's priority to alleviate these imbalances, to support female grown coffee production and strive for gender equality. By sourcing coffees like this female only regional lot from Primavera, a Guatemalan based exporter with excellent relationships with female producers across the region, we can do our small part.

THE TASTE OF POSITIVE CHANGE

Carefully crafted and undeniably delicious, the Trust range showcases the best of specialty coffee with an impact.

All the coffees we buy adhere to the Yallah Buying Standards. Trust coffees will, by default, meet this criteria, but they will also come with something extra. Whether it’s shipped over by sailboat with almost zero carbon emissions, grown using agroforestry methods, or supporting social projects in that region. Trust coffees come with a direct impact, and story to tell.

BUYING STANDARDS

It’s really important for us to work with trusted partners in our supply chain who can provide us with honesty and traceability. We have created a set of guidelines to help us source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and beliefs. There are three core categories that we think outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social relationship, and environmental efforts.

Country of Origin

Guatemala

Guatemala is renowned for its exceptional coffee quality. Coffee production and export has always been an important part of Guatemalan economy and culture, with the country being the eighth largest exporter of coffee in the world. Coffees from Guatemala tend to be appreciated for their sweetness and balance in the cup due to its high altitude and volcanic soils.

Female producers of Huehuetenango

Our visit to Guatemala earlier this year meant we had the opportunity to meet female producers in Huehuetenango, particularly the JOVEMCAFE group, lead by Paula Perez, a young agronomist in training. The group have benefitted from the Chain Collaboratives community-led development incubator program which provided resources for the building of a hen house in order to raise 300 egg laying chickens which would be sold to neighbouring towns, generating a secondary income. It is projects like these and the continued purchasing of women grown coffees that are so vital in pursuing gender equality within the coffee supply chain, something we are committed to in how and where we source our coffee and who from.

Social Relationships

Female Producers

In many coffee growing countries, the concept of women owning coffee farms is still uncommon and in some places, prohibited by government laws. Yet women contribute a staggering amount of the labour involved in producing coffee, from picking the cherries to hand sorting and processes. Supporting female producers and co-ops is crucial to eliminating the gender gap in coffee.
