In Greek mythology, Gea (pronounced hay-uh) is the goddess of the Earth and the mother of all creation. This coffee honors that legacy. Organic Honduras Gea is a regional blend created by Becamo from the coffees of more than 400 women producers, each contributing her unique landscape, skill, and resilience to this beautiful offering.
These women—many of whom manage their farms independently due to migration or the passing of a partner—balance caring for their families, tending their land, and producing high-quality specialty coffee. Their attention to detail in planting, harvesting, drying, and milling brings exceptional clarity and vibrancy to the cup. This coffee is a tribute to their dedication, craftsmanship, and the communities they support.

These farms were part of Becamo’s Recuperando mi Cafetal (RMC) program—launched in 2015 to help producers recover from the leaf rust epidemic. Today, RMC has grown into NKG Bloom, providing access to credit, crop management training, agronomy support, and sustainable income opportunities for families.
Women producers in these regions often plant timber and fruit trees alongside coffee to enhance soil moisture, create shade, improve biodiversity, and develop microclimates that elevate cup complexity. This thoughtful stewardship is reflected beautifully in the final cup.
