HONDURAS, GEA WOMEN'S PROJECT

In Greek mythology, Gea is the goddess of the Earth and the mother of all creation. Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG) exporter Becamo created this regional blend from the coffees of more than 400 women producers and gave it a name that "embodies the determined spirit of women."

These women producers have absolutely seized the opportunities that coffee presents, says Becamo. These women also continue to create opportunities and resources for one another, lend a hand during harvest, offer advice and bring notable attention to the details in their drying and milling.

Becamo continues: "They have also shown their ability to take a rough patch of land and turn it into a successful coffee farm,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."

This fully washed coffee was directly sourced from women producers in Lempira, Ocotepeque, Intibuca, Copan, La Paz, El Paraíso and Comayagua.
