Coordinadora de Mujeres Campesinas de La Paz (COMUCAP), which means Organizer of the Rural Women of La Paz, is a cooperative located in southwest Honduras. It was founded in 1993 by women seeking economic independence to support their families.

Before COMUCAP was founded men were the landowners in the region and made most of the business and production decisions. The women struggled to succeed economically and socially under this inequality, so they decided to take action to free themselves from their economic dependence on their fathers and husbands. This initiative led women in La Paz to organize and create COMUCAP.

One of COMUCAP's founders began a radio program for women called Siempre Vivas. Her audience consisted of many women who didn't own land and were often victims of domestic violence. These women realized that the root of the problem was economic insecurity and began to look for ways to earn money for themselves and their families.

Banding together, the women of COMUCAP purchased approximately one hectare of land and planted coffee. Through hard work and perseverance the cooperative has grown their farmland from that single hectare to 37 hectares. COMUCAP also has a wet mill, drying patios, and a compost production plant that have helped foster coffee quality.

Thanks to the success of the association, many of the women have been able to purchase their own land, achieving economic stability and freedom. The co-op now sells coffee, aloe vera products, wine, and honey, and also manages an ecotourism center, all of which provide sources of diversified income.

With the support of several NGOs, COMUCAP has trained its members in nutrition and food security and has developed family and school orchards. These orchards were created from small areas of land where the members reuse old tires and kitchen pots to extend the viable surface for plantings. Currently 40 percent of the members work at one of the orchards, which generate additional income for the farmers, as they sell the produce they don’t consume.

The members of COMUCAP have allocated part of their Fair Trade premium to create Caja Rural, which is a cash fund that offers one-year micro-credit loans to members for small expenses and investments. The program is also supported by NGO funds. It has had a major impact on the members; for example, it has helped farmers buy necessary school supplies for their children during the start of the school year.

COMUCAP’s coffee is among the best in Honduras, and its creation has impacted more than 500 rural families.

Our direct trade, medium-light coffee from a women's microlot close to Lake Kivu, Rwanda.


Queen's Crown

Queen's Crown is grown close to the shores of Lake Kivu and a stone’s throw from Rwanda Nyungwe National Park which is one of the largest montane and most preserved montane rainforests in Central Africa, home to huge biodiversity and an estimated 25% of Africa’s primates. This region’s elevation, soil, and climate are what coffee trees love best. Once the cherries are picked and brought to the washing stations, cherries are floated and pulped with a disc pulper. Parchment then goes into a dry fermentation for 12 to 14 hours before mucilage is washed off. Beans are graded by density in the grading channel with very clean water that separates them into three different qualities: Grade A, Grade B, Grade C. Coffee is then hand-sorted at the pre-drying tables and then dried on raised beds with a mesh bottom, allowing for more circulation of air. The coffee is air and sun-dried between 9 am and 3 pm depending on the sun's intensity. The drying process takes 14 to 20 days depending on the weather. When dried, the coffee is well kept until it is hulled and sorted by experienced women and then packed in Grainpro and Jute bags for export. This lot is formed by Grade A coffee only. 

“Making women’s coffee work count” – This is what inspired Queen's Crown, a coffee lot that is solely produced and processed by women. The majority of work in coffee farming and processing is done by women but only a small percentage of the proceedings from coffee goes to women despite having taken on the majority of responsibilities in their households. This coffee is meant to learn from the Rwandan culture and portray the real image of the acknowledgement that should be given to women’s work in coffee value chain. Urugori “women’s crown” is a crown that women in Rwanda are given after giving their first birth as symbol for motherhood. It is a symbol of respect and recognition of their contribution to the society. This coffee is meant to continue acknowledging women’s contribution to the coffee community and creating a transparent framework through which they can benefit from additional proceedings resulting from their work. This is not only fair to them it is also a great contribution to their households and the environment as a whole. It has already been evidenced that by adding more money in the hands of women, communities can eradicate malnutrition, illiteracy and catalyze girls’ education. All of these are critical for women empowerment and are the biggest mitigators of climate change.

Founded in Santa Cruz, California, at the dawn of a new coffee movement, Verve's mission since day one has been to discover the finest coffees in the world and to share them with you. We promise to push the boundaries and to always take the path less traveled.
Let’s craft the future of coffee, together.

The word “ethos” is defined as “a manifestation of beliefs and aspirations” - and Ethos Roasters is a company that embodies our most noble aspirations to make a difference in the world through coffee.

We begin by sourcing the most socially-impactful, highest-quality coffee beans we can, roasting them with scientific care (in state-of-the-art 15-kilo and 10-kilo drum roasters, by PhD and MD holders), and packaging and shipping them as soon as they are roasted. We only roast on order (no coffee inventory ever!) so we can always ship your coffee just hours after roasting. 

Yet, our definition of coffee "greatness" goes well beyond high quality and unparalleled freshness - it prioritizes the impact behind each bean. In fact, our passion for coffee is only surpassed by our desire to make a difference in the lives of small coffee farmers (over wealthy large farmers or Estates which tend to dominate Specialty coffee). Our biggest success story is a small farmer Co-Op in Poaquil, Guatemala, which was able to buy their own coffee processing equipment in 2019 and continues to grow with us! Thank you for the opportunity to roast for you, and for BREWING GREATNESS in the world with us!
