Cafeina Women's Group - Specialty Female-Produced Brazilian Coffee

Empowering Women in Coffee Production

The Cafeina Women's Group is a collective of 1,154 female coffee producers within the Cocatrel Cooperative in Tres Pontas, Sul de Minas, Brazil. Though they make up just 21% of the cooperative’s membership, these women are committed to producing high-quality coffee while increasing their influence in the industry.

Formed to highlight the exceptional work of female producers, the group fosters education, visibility, and participation in decision-making. They hold meetings every two months to share knowledge, build confidence, and create opportunities within the coffee-growing community.

Precision Processing for Superior Coffee

The coffee produced by the Cafeina Women's Group follows a meticulous process to ensure consistency and quality:

  • Harvesting:As is common in Brazil, coffee cherries are machine-harvested, ensuring efficiency and high yield.
  • Pulping:The harvested cherries are separated by grade, with nearly 100% of the mucilage removed during pulping.
  • Drying:The beans are carefully dried on patios for 7 to 10 days, with regular turning for even drying and fermentation.
  • Resting:The coffee is rested for 30 days before being hulled, enhancing the depth of flavor.
  • Preparation for Export:After resting, the beans are delivered to the cooperative, where they are prepared for export and international distribution.

Showcasing the Strength of Women in Coffee

The Cafeina Women's Group stands as a symbol of empowerment and dedication within the coffee industry. Their work not only delivers exceptional coffee but also paves the way for greater female representation and leadership in the field. By supporting this coffee, you are championing gender equality in agriculture while enjoying a rich, expertly crafted brew from one of Brazil’s finest coffee-producing regions.
