Popayan Femenino

We love to seek out amazing coffees directly from women coffee growers. Not only do we get to share the incredible flavours of their coffees with you, we know that together we are creating better opportunities for these talented women and their families. That’s why we are super excited to roast standout Colombian coffee grown by Indigenous women producers across the Cauca region, and a proud part of our women coffee growers range.

This coffee delight is packed with juicy apple , rich chocolate and a hint of spice . Totally moreish.

For filter coffee lovers, check out our filter roast edition of this coffee.

We roast this Colombian single-origin coffee to a medium roast level. A medium roast level lets us craft a sweeter more balanced and approachable cup with a good body.

Perfect for espresso , stovetop , Aeropress , batch brew and plunger coffee-style brewing.

The extraction time tells you if the water has enough time to extract all the tasty goodness in the coffee. Adjusting your grind size will help you to achieve the suggested time in our recipe. You want to grind finer if you extract a yield in a shorter time. And grind coarser if you achieve the yield in a longer time than suggested.

Popayán Femenino is a women-led coffee project from Colombia’s Cauca region, centred around Popayán and coordinated through CENCOIC (the Central Indigenous Cooperative of Cauca).

The project brings together coffees grown by Indigenous women producers, primarily from Nasa communities and neighbouring Indigenous groups. These women play a central role in coffee production — from farming and harvesting through to post-harvest work — and Popayán Femenino helps ensure their contribution is recognised and fairly valued.

Beyond producing export-quality, specialty-grade coffee, the project focuses on strengthening household incomes and supporting long-term community resilience. It’s built on Indigenous cooperativism, with a strong emphasis on shared decision-making, care for land, and respect for cultural identity.

Popayán Femenino looks beyond flavour alone. It’s about supporting women growers, fairer systems, and communities building sustainable livelihoods on their own terms.

We know, that together we are creating better opportunities for women and their families. That’s why we source 40% of our coffees directly from women's coffee growers . And we reinvest funds in social projects that create a profound change in our coffee growing communities. and fund projects that advance women.
