About Esther Short Blend

Named after the historic Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver, this blend is built exclusively from coffees grown by women producers in South America. Each component is roasted separately to match moisture, density, and origin characteristics — leading to a sweeter, more consistent, and more balanced cup.

Café Femenino Program

This blend directly supports women-led farms throughout Latin America. Café Femenino provides training, financial independence, and leadership opportunities to women growers, ensuring more equitable participation in all stages of coffee production.

When you choose Esther Short, you’re supporting:

• Fair compensation for women farmers

• Community development at origin

• Education, training, and empowerment initiatives

A dependable daily coffee with a meaningful mission.
