This month (August) our Tasting Room is offering a special dark roast of our single origin Sumatra Kokowagayo by Cafe Femenino. Available ONLY in our Tasting Room - you'll have to come to try while supply lasts. Roasted dark this lush, heavy bodied coffee has a dark plumb chocolate cordial syrup quality.

The third feature "T" in S.E.T. is for the traceable trade practices that shine in every cup of coffee of our Femenino coffees at Caravan (both Peru and Sumatra).

While women in Sumatra have always carried key roles in coffee production, they had been excluded from economic decision-making. By creating their own women-only cooperative and joining Café Femenino, the women earn more money and have the ability to decide where it goes. Since starting the Sumatra program, the women have used their increased resources to offer leadership and financial training to women coffee farmers, set aside capital for women’s entrepreneurial efforts, and build a community center above their wet mill to provide a safe space for women to congregate to learn new skills.

Participating women members: 544

Women in leadership roles: 18 women (Chairwoman & Business Manager, Secretary & Collector, Treasurer, Chair Supervisor, 2 Member Supervisors, 4 Collectors and 8 Delegates)

Coffee profile: Coffee features floral, fruity, and sweet aromas of vanilla and pipe tobacco, with rich, lush, and smooth flavors of black cherry, tobacco, and cocoa.

Varietals: Bourbon, Tim Tim, Catimor

Elevation: 1,200-1,500 Meters

Don't forget to read about the "S" and "E" of Caravan's S.E.T. coffee sourcing principles already posted. Every coffee that must pass our framework to receive a "Sourced with Intention" mark of approval.

S = A SPECIFIC POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT IN THAT REGION.

E = SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES IN PLACE.

T = TRACEABILITY DIRECT TO FARM, COMMUNITY OR CO-OP.

If you're able, stop in for a fresh Sumatra Pour Over and take home a bag of beans while they last!
