Coffee-producing countries often have higher levels of gender inequality due to more traditional cultural role divisions. Typically on smallholder coffee farms, women do the bulk of the work relating to quality and yields whilst men work in transporting and selling the produce. However, women are often excluded from decision-making processes and leadership roles and have limited access to financial and educational resources.

Tizita Bizuneh runs the Bulessa washing station in Sidamo, Ethiopia as a project designed to empower women working in coffee throughout the production chain. The station is operated entirely by women, and services 400 mainly female regional smallholder producers. The coffee they have produced in this lot has a delicious flavour profile with loads of nectarine, grape and melon, with a nice vanilla bean finish.

We already know that prisoners are 50% more likely to reoffend if they leave prison without skills and a job. And we definitely know that in specialty coffee, people need exceptional skills.

Enter Redemption Roasters, the world’s first behind bars coffee company. We were approached by the Ministry of Justice to help address the state of reoffending through coffee. Our roastery is inside the walls of HMP the Mount and our network of barista academies operate in justice sector institutions across the country.

As part of our mission to help offenders successfully reintegrate into society, we train them in professional roastery and barista skills. On release, we help our “Graduates” to find work, either in our own coffee shops, or with our wholesale clients.

We don’t just source coffee ethically; our entire roasting and coffee education process is socially impactful. The result is a finely crafted cup of coffee that raises the bar for everyone.
