Roaster notes
The Sol y Café coffee cooperative was founded in 2005 with the support of the local church mission Caritas Jaén. Located in the town of Jaén, in the Cajamarca region, the co-op has grown to include over 900 member families spanning thousands of acres. The collective strength of these farmers continues to be the production of high-quality organic coffee, and they have proven it– regularly ranking as top finishers in quality competitions held nationally and abroad.
Roaster
They took a pioneering approach to sourcing coffee through a relationship model, placing emphasis on direct trade as a way to support thriving livelihoods for producers at origin. They earned Roast Magazine's prestigious 'Roaster of the Year' award in 2013, are home to the first barista union in the USA and are currently transitioning to a worker-owned company. Gimme! Coffee roasts all their coffee on two Probat drum-style roasters at their facility in Ithaca, NY.
