Honduras Gea Diosa de la Tierra Women's Cooperative

This is a wonderful coffee. Gorgeously sweet and smooth with a big hitting depth of flavour upon first sip. There's notes of milk choc and candied orange. The acidity is overall very balanced. This is a wonderful all-rounder. If you can't tell, I absolutely love it!! 

The producers source this fully washed coffee directly from Lempira, Ocotepeque, Intibuca, Copan, La Paz, El Paraíso and Comayagua. 

In Greek mythology, Gea is the goddess of the Earth and the mother of all creation. This regional blend is created from the coffees of more than 400 women producers, who together make up RMC. This organisation was initially established in 2015 to support coffee families through the process of recovering from the rust epidemic. It pairs producers with agronomists who share best practices on plant nutrition, pest control, tissue management and the preparation of bio-fertilizers.

Women producers absolutely seize the opportunities and challenges that coffee growing presents. Women also create opportunities and resources for one another, work during harvest, offer advice and bring notable attention to detail in their drying and milling. They have also shown their ability to take a rough patch of land and turn it into a successful coffee farm, in part by planting timber and fruit alongside coffee crops, to increase shade and soil moisture and to encourage microclimates that bring complexity and quality to the cup.
