Coffee, Tipico Cultivada: Rwanda Maraba Women's Co-op
$21.50
12
ounces
Cultivada is a mark on our menu that will always represent coffee grown by women. The Rwanda Maraba Women's Co-op coffee is sourced from smallholder farmers that are women and has tasting notes of apple cider and walnut.
Cultivada is an attempt to put some fairness and equity into our supply chains. The ICO reported that around 1/5 of the world’s coffee farmers are women, and up to 70% of the labor in the production of coffee is from women. However, representation and acknowledgement is sorely below these figures. Cultivada is a mark on our menu that will always represent coffee grown by women.
The Maraba Cooperative, established in 2001, has significantly impacted Rwanda’s coffee industry. Initially formed by 20 growers as part of a USAID-funded development program to improve the lives of farmers in the mid-90s, it now includes over 1,500 members, with about 35% being women. The cooperative operates four washing stations in the Southern Province, allowing meticulous processing and drying of coffee. The cooperative provides financial support for school fees, health services, and access to a credit fund for home loans and farming equipment. Profits are reinvested into shared infrastructure, resources, and training to improve coffee yield and quality.
This specific coffee is sourced from smallholder farmers that are women.
Maraba’s careful processing methods ensure high-quality coffee, contributing to the cooperative’s success and the economic stability of its members.
