Celebrating Women in Coffee – Our International Womens Day Single Origin
At Old Spike Roastery, 65% of our team are women - leading, creating, and crafting exceptional coffee every day just for you. This special single-origin coffee from Honduras celebrates their dedication and the inspiring women behind the beans.
In 2013, a group of women producers in the COMSA cooperative in Marcala, Honduras, came together to improve their economic and living conditions. Beyond growing outstanding coffee, they diversified their crops to create sustainable incomes and provide nourishment for their communities.
One of these producers, Alba Rosa Claros, has been growing coffee since she was young. After joining COMSA in 2011, she trained in organic farming and now leads the cooperative’s gender committee, empowering other women to thrive in the speciality coffee industry.
COMSA has been Fairtrade certified since 2005, ensuring all its coffee is 100% Fairtrade and Organic. Their 110-hectare model farm, Finca La Fortaleza, serves as a training hub, helping members refine their organic farming techniques.
With vibrant fruity notes and a deep sweetness, this coffee is a testament to the hard work, resilience, and solidarity of these women. Enjoy a cup that truly makes an impact.
