Local coffee company dedicated to empowering women-owned farms

Cafecita Coffee, located in Los Angeles, is known for its slow and scientific roasting methods, as well as its dedication to empowering women in the coffee industry. The coffee shop exclusively sources its beans from sustainable, women-owned farms and co-ops in regions like Chiapas, Mexico. Natalie Webb, the owner of Cafecita Coffee, highlights the disparity in representation of women in decision-making roles within the industry, despite their significant contribution to the manual labor on coffee farms.

Cafecita Coffee is a pioneer in challenging these norms and advocating for women’s empowerment in the coffee industry. When they first launched, they were the only roaster in the country to exclusively source from women-owned farms, a commitment they continue to uphold. A percentage of every sale goes toward supporting women’s non-profits globally, making a positive impact beyond just their products. Barista Maxim Escamilla appreciates the opportunity to not only serve coffee but also deliver a meaningful message with each cup.

Customers can purchase Cafecita coffee products and merchandise online or at various cafes throughout Los Angeles. The brand’s mission of empowering women and supporting sustainable practices sets them apart in the industry and resonates with consumers who value ethical sourcing and social responsibility.
