The PAWQARA co-op is truly a community of friends, neighbors, and families in the Chirinos district who have banded together to sell their coffee. Begun in 2022, the cooperative is centered around husband and wife partners Lily Heredia and Neptaly Santos, partnered with another husband and wife pair: Angel Noriega and Cati Simon of Mikel coffee. The third husband and wife pair to bring the project to fruition was Emily and Michael McIntyre of Swift Coffee Sourcing.
Tired of using great care to produce their coffees and then seeing the (often) variety-separated, high-end coffees go into regional blends at local cooperatives, the founders envisioned a powerful group led by women, for the betterment of the entire community.
PAWQARA: Mujeres Fuertes y Resilientes (PAWQARA: strong and resilient women) has grown over the years to add male family members and other relatives. Within a few more years, it will have reached its modest goal: 3 full containers a year of high quality coffee, sold by Swift Coffee Sourcing to roasters who care about the process as much as the producers.
