2026 is the seventh year that we have purchased coffee from the Cafeina Women’s Group in Sul de Minas, Brazil. 

In 2019, a group for female farmers was established within the Cocatrel Cooperative in Três Pontas, Sul de Minas, Brazil. Known as the Cafeina Women's Group, it comprises of over 1,100 women producers. The initiative aims to promote active participation by women in decision-making processes. Every two months, the group gathers to further their education, expand their knowledge, and enhance their visibility and involvement within the coffee-growing community. The group is led by Iandra Vilela, an award-winning advocate for women in coffee.
This particular coffee is a natural-process lot consisting of the Mundo Novo and Yellow Catuaí varieties. It is machine-harvested, with the beans sorted by grade before being dried on patios for 7–10 days. After drying, the coffee rests for 30 days, then is hulled and delivered to the cooperative.

Cafeina is our most popular coffee and is sourced by our long-standing import partners Falcon. We use it in all three of our espresso blends as well as offering it as a single origin. We think it makes a full-bodied and balanced espresso as well as an easy going cup of filter coffee. It tastes like chocolate, almond, plum and apple, and smells like fresh pine.
