Joe Coffee - Mexico Blanca Suazo

Café Feminista: México Blanca Suazo celebrates women producers creating opportunity, ownership, and real economic impact through coffee. This washed lot comes from Blanca Suazo in Córdoba, Veracruz, whose family has farmed the land since 1960. Today, Blanca carries that legacy forward through Musa Café—refining processes, managing her farm with care, and growing healthy seedlings for neighboring producers. Her work strengthens local communities, supports other women in coffee, and connects her farm directly to international markets, helping shift the economic balance in a system where women hold just 20–30% of farm ownership globally. Bright and expressive, it features notes of cream soda, almond, and Meyer lemon, carried on a smooth, creamy sweetness. Balanced and lively, it’s a coffee that shines on its own or in milk. Every sip reflects Blanca’s care, skill, and leadership, and supports women building tangible economic power through coffee. This Café Feminista coffee program highlights coffee from women producers who identify with feminism, and live their lives in pursuit of equity and liberation. We know we can’t measure, much less change, what we can’t name - and the invisibility of oppression is still prevalent. In our learning journey as a green coffee buying business, we have been curious about power, the potential for change through our business, and the governing forces in our industry. The goal of this Café Feminista program is to use our platform, our business, to amplify the work of women leaders in coffee whose work will guide our path to feminist futures. Their work and perspectives are critical in reducing barriers of oppression and moving toward liberation and freedom.
