This blend is exclusively composed of women-grown coffees from South America, sourced through the Café Femenino Program. The Café Femenino Program supports women-led farms throughout Latin America, providing training, financial independence, and leadership opportunities. The coffee is washed processed and roasted to a medium+ level. Named after Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver, each component is roasted separately to match moisture, density, and origin characteristics. The blend features milk chocolate and caramel flavor notes with a balanced body, designed to perform well across French Press, auto drip, and pour-over brewing methods.
Kafiex is a micro roastery based in Vancouver, Washington, roasting small batches of specialty coffee with a focus on microlots and competition grade lots. The company operates two downtown Vancouver locations: a Coffee Lab dedicated to roasting and tasting, and a Gastro Café serving food alongside coffee. In 2026, Roast Magazine named Kafiex its Micro Roaster of the Year, recognizing a journey that started at farmers markets and grew through international competitions. Sustainable sourcing is central to the operation, and a Coffee Club offers members curated selections, in store tastings, and exclusive sensory events.
