Nicaragua Las Hermanas, Organic Fair Trade
This is a unique story. 140 women owned, Las Hermanas, coffee farms in upper Nicaragua, joined together to produce the best coffees of the region. Their eagerness to know our coffee preferences and needs for consistent, clean, even, green coffees to roast has been why each year we have continued to bring in this coffee. Las Hermanas Fair Traded coffees have given back to the community with 700+ new school uniforms and numerous health and civil projects. The Organic Fair Trade Las Hermanas coffee with it's smooth, thick, chocolaty cup, and hints of apricot has become a Cafe Moto favorite and the foundation for several of the blends. This coffee delivers in the cup and in the heart.
I had dinner with Fatima Ismael, GM, of the Las Hermanas Cooperative recently in Oaxaca, Mexico. She updated me on the community progress including sustainable production, quality control, credit, human benefits of hunger and poverty, economic diversification, environmental protection, social medicines, equality of gender, reproductive health and human rights, democratic participation, market education in the schools and a strong family core. "We will fight these things." Needless to say she is a powerful and dedicated woman of coffee. Thank you for helping Cafe Moto bring these fabulous coffees from Jinotega, Nicaragua.

About the farm:
Las Hermanas (sisters) coffee is produced by a small and innovative cooperative headquartered in Jinotega, Nicaragua. Hermanas represents the beans of the 200 women members of the co-op. Women in Nicaragua can own the title to their own land. This is different from other Central American countries. It is a result of the progressive reforms of the Sandinista revolution and has been maintained under subsequent governments. The co-op is led by a charismatic leader, Fatima Ismael, who has been helping the farmers for four years and is inspired by an organization where 30% of the membership is women coffee farmers. Her vision is to create a worldwide network of women who buy and market this coffee, sending a message to these rural farmers that they have options, that they can create what they want for themselves and their families.
