We're so excited to announce that Coffee Project NY hosting a month-long photo exhibition at our location in Long Island City, with a fundraising opening event that's open to the public!

Tickets will be sold in advance and at the door by a sliding scale donation.

New Coffee Alert : Tanzania (Co-Op) -- This washed peaberry coffee has a clear profile and notes of harmonious honeycomb, herbs and sweet dates. It's a classic Kilimanjaro coffee from the high-altitude foothills of Africa's tallest mountain. Fun fact: peaberry coffees are distinguished in quality because they contain 1 seed per coffee cherry rather than the typical 2 seeds per cherry. This gives the single seed of the peaberry more sugars and nutrients from the pulp of the cherry, as well as a unique round shape! Available in store an online :)

How often do you get to see the face behind the bag of coffee you purchased? This is Eduviges Panche. She is a third-generation women coffee farmer from Colombia and produced her first ever specialty grade microlot last year. We purchased the entire lot from her through @cosecha_traders as an effort to support and encourage her in producing high quality coffee. She made a video to thank us. It warms our hearts to know that our decision to support women farmers made a difference, and it helped improved the quality of life of a family. Here, we also want to thank YOU, for your continuous support of us, and our cause. YOU have made a difference. March 8th is International Women’s Day, and we are kicking off with this powerful video from Eduviges. Stay empowered, stay fabulous!
