Gaia Blend: Women Producers 2024
Radford Coffee is a women-owned and operated business. Last year, we got the idea to honor this connection to women in the coffee industry across the world by creating a blend sourced completely from women-owned coffee farms. The result was Gaia 2023, a blend that was not only delicious, but dear to our heart and core mission.
New Coffee, Same Mission.
That being said, here at RCC, we believe in the importance of reinventing yourself. This year, in honor of Women's History Month, we'd like to introduce our Gaia 2024, a completely new coffee which sticks to our core mission: to source completely from women-owned farms, each with it's own beautiful story:
Colombia El Tambo: In the municipality of El Tambo, Cuaca, a region comprising largely of Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities, the Asociación de Mujeres Agropecuarias de Uribe (ASMUCAFE) is an organization of women whose sole mission is to provide for their families and communities by sharing knowledge, resources, and support in the coffee farming industry.
Peru Warmikuna: The name Warmikuna means ´women´ in Qechua, one of Peru´s oldest languages. The Warmikuna Cluster is a cooperation of around 55 women in the coffee-farming region of Junin, Peru. These farms are currently spearheading many projects in sustainable and regenerative coffee farming. It is their mission to prove that farming coffee can be profitable without causing environmental damage.
Gaia 2024 is a light roast with flavors of amaretto and caramel, hints of orange, and a smooth vanilla finish.
