Meet La Morena, a coffee that’s doing more than just tasting incredible.
Grown by a collective of women producers in the highlands of Huehuetenango and Baja Verapaz, Guatemala, this lot is all about resilience, skill, and independence. Through the Volcafe Way program (run by our importing partners), these producers are not only improving quality and yield, but they’re building sustainable businesses and reshaping what leadership looks like in coffee.
In the cup, expect a rich, full-bodied profile with notes of chocolate, cherry, and brown sugar.
But this coffee is bigger than flavour. It’s about access, education, and economic empowerment. It’s about women claiming space, sharing knowledge, and investing back into their farms and communities.
Drink it because it’s delicious. Buy it because it matters.
