BM introduces guest coffee powered by women
BM Caterers has launched Soppexcca powered by women, a coffee sourced, developed, roasted and marketed entirely by women.
BM Caterers has launched Soppexcca powered by women, a coffee sourced, developed, roasted and marketed entirely by women. The limited-edition guest roast – with tasting notes of dark chocolate, dried cheery and maple syrup – will be available to BM client sites until December.
The beans have been sourced from BM’s Fairtrade coffee partner Soppexcca, a co-operative farm in Nicaragua, where almost 40% of the members are women. The roast was overseen by Notes Coffee account manager Monika Piwko, working in partnership with the BM team. The design was created by Jessica Galan Diaz, using inspiration from a visit to Nicaragua.
'Dedicated guest roast'
Lin Dickens, marketing director for BM Caterers, said: “When [BM founder] Wendy Bartlett and I first visited Nicaragua nearly 10 years ago believing in female empowerment, it was only natural for us to seek out and support women in the coffee trade. This initiative is about more than just sourcing coffee; it’s about sharing the stories and passion of women coffee farmers through a dedicated guest roast.”
