GREETINGS!

As an avid coffee drinker and a mother with social justice in her heart, I wanted to create a place where these things can meet successfully. I started Seven Sisters Coffee as a means to bring social awareness to each person through their very own taste buds and in an environment where experience is the best teacher.

During my journey into opening the coffeehouse, several opportunities made themselves available including a trip to the rainforests of Nicaragua. This trip confirmed my vision that a just world is within reach and the mission of Seven Sisters Coffee House. I hope to bring it back to our community through our coffee house.

I hope you take the time to read the story of my journey and the mission that sent me into opening this magical coffeehouse. More importantly, I hope you take the time to come by and enjoy a hot cup of social change!

Yours in coffee,

Alisha

What we believe

Seven Sisters Coffee believes there is more to making a quality cup of joe than a bunch of beans. From the growers and roasters who provide our product to the friends and family you share it with, coffee is about people. Our goal is to deliver high quality specialty coffee with a commitment to human rights--fair, social, economic and environmental practices. We think that through community, family and educational experiences, new knowledge about the worldwide coffee industry can inspire awareness of socially responsible practices and create a greater connection with their neighbors...even if those neighbors are thousands of miles away!

Seven Sisters loves kids! After all, ideas for social justice begin with the very young. Our coffeehouse will provide a place where parents can grab an amazing cup of coffee and hang out with their children or just relax while the kids participate in an activity within eye sight. In addition, we provide opportunities to introduce children to ideas of social justice through hands-on, fun, planned experientials and communal gatherings. Keep an eye out for our future calendar of children's activities.

Okay, but how's the coffee? We think it's fantastic! In fact we're a little a crazy about it...in a good way. Hosting monthly coffee tastings will offer people a chance to learn about the finer points of the black stuff. Our goal is to create coffee experts. People who can not only tell a Columbian from a Yergacheffe, but understand where it comes from, how it's grown and how the coffee industry's socially responsible practices are making a difference in the world. There's a lot more to coffee than water, grounds and fair-trade!

When you experience Seven Sisters Coffee, know you are making a difference......one cup of social change at a time!

Selva Negra, Nicaragua

Seven Sisters Coffee provides coffee from sustainable, organic, fairly traded , and relationship coffee farms. Our house coffee comes from Selva Negra Coffee Estate in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Selva Negra is a fully sustainable estate, from coffee production to the estate workers facitlities. My Coffee House vision sent me on the journey to Selva Negra where I had the opportunity to spend a 5 day point-of-origin tour with some great friends, old and new. The owner of Selva Negra, Mousi and her son-in-law Steve introduced me to the sustainability of the farm and to the beautiful people who work there. I spent time picking coffee cherries with the main foreman, visiting the educational facilities for the worker families, eating some amazing farm grown organic food and hiking in virgin rain forest. Take a walk through the collection of photographs from Nicaragua and I hope you get a sense the beauty and humanity I felt while there!
If you would like information on taking a point of origin tour to Selva Negra, please email me for details.
