In Guatemala coffee has long been a male-dominated industry and gender equality remains a challenge. It is still unfortunately very difficult for women in Guatemala to compete and thrive in the coffee world. La Morena is an organization that is working to change this by showcasing the work of women producers.

Cafecita specifically partners with the producers in Huehuetenango, one of the better known regions of Guatemala. One of Guatemala‘s three non-volcanic regions, Huehuetenango is also the highest and driest one, making it one of the best to grow coffee. The communities in the region depend heavily on the coffee industry for their livelihoods.

Produced exclusively by female farmers, La Morena is a certified Volcafe Way coffee. Since joining the Volcafe Way program, the producers have increased the quality of their coffee, increased their yields, and, as a consequence, started earning more. In teaching them best practices, their farms are turning out excellent coffee and becoming viable businesses.

La Morena also works with Wakami, a local foundation dedicated to the empowerment of women through the creation of small business models that contribute to the sale of Guatemalan handcraft products. By providing women artisans with skill training and income opportunities, they are able to help transform cycles of poverty into cycles of prosperity.

We ensure workers' rights, gender equity, and environmental sustainability are the forefront of every stage of production. All our coffees are single origin and freshly roasted in small batches so you know exactly who you're supporting and what's in your cup. 

We love what we do and we hope you enjoy your Cafecita coffee knowing you're supporting empowerment with every cup!
