Endah, Indonesian Coffee Farmer

From coffee farmers to Starbucks partners (employees), both in-store and behind-the-scenes, we are bringing you the stories of five inspirational women in Asia Pacific who are making an impact in the coffee world. Join us as we share the stories behind their coffee experiences – and discover the vital parts they play in crafting your perfect coffee, from bean to cup.

One of the key messages of International Women’s Day is the importance of uplifting and empowering women – and that’s exactly what BENTANI (Brewing Change: Women’s Empowerment in Coffee Origin Communities in Indonesia), a program created by global humanitarian organization Mercy Corps in collaboration with The Starbucks Foundation, is all about.

Endah is a shining example of the program’s benefits. Coming from a family of coffee farmers, coffee is practically in Endah’s DNA; she now helps her coffee farmer husband grow and cultivate coffee, alongside running a village store selling coffee and other groceries
