Special Tasting at Equator Coffees at Proof Lab Surf Shop with Fair Trade USA

Join Equator Coffees & Teas and Fair Trade USA on Saturday, October 26 to celebrate the launch of a very special coffee: Guatemala Cafe de Mujeres.

The coffee, produced by a group of 350 women in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala, supports efforts to improve pre-natal health care and nutrition within the community.

Equator Coffee Buyer Catilin McCarthy-Garcia will discuss the health care initiatives and social projects that are benefited from supporting these producers, and she will lead a tasting highlighting the unique characteristics of the coffee.

 All attendees will be entered in a raffle for a Fair Trade gift box, featuring Equator's new Guatemala Cafe de Mujeres.
