InterAmerican Coffee

This International Women's Day, we're celebrating and supporting all the incredible women at NKG and within our coffee community! We couldn’t do the work we do without them. And still we know: We need more women in the coffee industry. So, we asked our female colleagues to share, in their words: “Why do we need more women in coffee?” We’re proud to share their answers.

To these colleagues, and to all the women who inspire us every day, we say: Thank you for who you are, all you do, and for making this work possible!

Our San Diego team recently took part in a cupping to assist in its efforts to advance strategic coffee varietal proliferation. As one of many cupping panels submitting scores and notes, the San Diego team contributed to a body of data being collected by WCR as part of the International Multilocation Variety Trial.

This project, which began in 2016, consists of gathering the best-performing coffee varieties from around the world and examining how these varietals perform in different environments. The goal is to identify combinations of variety and location that produce the highest cup quality, combined with high resiliency to climate change, in order to help meet industry needs both now and in the future.

The feedback provided by team San Diego and many others will help coffee-producing countries understand the performance of varieties that are new to them, and perhaps influence the countries' decision to pursue commercial release of new varieties to farmers.

We're truly grateful to be able to contribute to this important work and to help strengthen the future of our industry!
