El Mejor Parte de su Día Comienza Ahora!

After 10 months of visiting Chica Bean headquarters, learning all about the ins and outs of coffee alongside the Chica Bean women,
the Hope Academy 6th grade girls are finally ready to present their final project: their very own Hope Coffee roasts!

THE INTERNSHIP

From the expected (like how to process a fruit into a coffee bean and the importance of customer surveys) to the wild (like degasification and syphons), the Hope Academy girls have delved into the science, business, and realities of the coffee industry. Together with the Chica Bean female coffee professionals, we brewed, tasted, roasted, bubbled, designed, surveyed, packaged, and pushed papers (that was probably their least favorite day)!

THE COFFEE

And through that process, the girls developed their own coffee offerings that they are excited to share with you. They enjoyed making it so much, they couldn’t decide on just one so you have the choice!

Option 1: Dark Roast
Process: Washed
Tasting Notes: Marshmallow, crispy tortillas, a warm fire

Options 2: Medium Roast
Process: Washed
Tasting Notes: Chocolate, melon, traditional candies

FLYING FORWARD IN THEIR EDUCATION

As part of the logistics lesson, our shipping partners at UPS/CAEX even invited us to tour the airport and get up close and personal with how the products are exported. It was an amazing and eye opening experience for all!

From learning how much work goes into making a seed into a drink to training the palette to find flavors beyond just bitter (and maybe more importantly, to stop using sugar), this program has expanded the girls’ horizons in a practical, safe, and realistically accessible way. We look forward to continuing this internship program. Your purchase will directly go to supporting further educational and mentorship programs like this, so drink up the good!

¡OJO! (Attention!) Important Information:

It’s been 6 months since we first released this Hope(ful) Coffee and we’re well into our second internship with the new group of girls. We’ve decided to reopen this product to remind y’all of the girls’ impressive work but also to motivate this new group; to show them the possibilities!

This coffee will only be available until May 30th, so don’t wait! Order now to make sure you get to be a part of this women powered, girl engineered, hope propelled specialty coffee collaboration!

    Shipping was quick and the coffee was great. Some of the best beans I’ve ever had – the chocolate, hazelnut, and spice scents hit you as soon as you open the bag! We’ll be back in a month for our next bag.
