Coffee and a Movie at Renaissance
Every Saturday at 3 p.m., starting today, the Renaissance — 401 East Front Street in Port Angeles — will be serving free organic fair-trade coffee while showing the documentary “Strong Coffee.”
The coffee is grown at Café Femenino, a coffee-growing co-op in the Peruvian Andes that’s wholly owned by women. “Strong Coffee” is the story of how these women got out from under the dominant business practices of that region, and built a prosperous business selling their coffee beans throughout the U.S., Canada and Australia.
Renaissance owner Lynn Keenan discovered Café Femenino at Seattle’s annual Coffee Fest, where coffee growers, roasters and café owners all get together.
