About this Coffee

At Equator we aim to do more than just provide an amazing cup of coffee — we are champions of optimism, always striving to make a measurable, positive impact in the world. Each bag sold of our CAF Blend benefits the Challenged Athletes Foundation, the global leader in providing access to sports for individuals with physical challenges. Funds raised will help empower lives through sport.

CAF Blend is built around a pair of coffees from Ethiopia. The first is a natural processed coffee from the Sidama growing region that gives the blend its classic fruit-forward character. The second is a vibrant, fully-washed coffee that adds brightness and subtle floral notes. We complete the blend with a coffee from the Ketiara Cooperative in the Gayo Mountain region of Sumatra’s Aceh Province. Our coffee, affectionately known as Queen Ketiara, is grown by the group’s women producers. This rich and full bodied coffee balances out the other more nuanced components to create a complex and smooth blend with just the right amount of fruit presence.

WHY WE LOVE THIS COFFEE

As a medium roast CAF Blend is dark enough to stand up to milk, but not so dark as to hide the inherent flavor qualities of the blend’s component coffees. The two Ethiopian coffees contribute fruity and floral characteristics while the Sumatra adds depth and body.

GOOD COFFEE, BETTER PLANET

At Equator we aim to do more than just provide an amazing cup of coffee — we are champions of optimism, always striving to make a measurable, positive impact in the world. That is why we are committed to donate $2 for every 12oz bag of CAF Blend sold to the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), the global leader in providing access to sports for individuals with physical challenges. Funds raised will help empower lives through sport.

All of Challenged Athletes Foundation Blend’s components are both Fair Trade and Organic certified.
