I had the honor of trying the Kishe Woman-Grown coffee. It is woman-grown and handled only by women farmers during the entire process. More than a third of Kishe Foods shareholders' farms are owned and operated by women. When women have more influence on the farm, benefits can be directly traced to the improvement of their families' nutrition and education. Kishe continues to strive to empower more women to take leadership roles and produce high quality coffee.

RESERVE "EL VERGEL"
Kishe Reserve coffee has been chosen with only one goal in mind, to be the best of the crop. Each lot is an exclusive coffee, coming from a unique land area where their partner farmers take advantage of rare environmental attributes, such as volcanic soil, altitude, rain patterns and humidity, to help them develop unmistakably delicate aromas and flavors. These beans have been grown in a unique and amazing environment, the farm is based in a humid forest close to a Quetzal reserve, the National Guatemalan Bird. |
