Equator gives back to our local and global communities by contributing one dollar for each bag of B’Cause Blend sold to organizations we love. Our current non-profit partner is Brown Girl Surf.

Brown Girl Surf works to build a more diverse, environmentally reverent, and joyful women’s surf culture by increasing access to surfing, cultivating community, amplifying the voices of women of color surfers, and taking care of the earth.

B’Cause Blend was inspired by the fruit-forward flavor characteristics found in traditional Mocha Java-style blends. The foundation of this blend is a dried-in-the-fruit natural processed coffee from the Telamo Cooperative located in the Sidama region of Ethiopia. Small, intensely fruity lots are blended together to create this type, which contributes a foundation of berry-like fruit to the blend. This component is complemented by two washed coffees, one from Kenya and the other from the Antioquia region in Colombia. The bright and assertive Kenyan coffee helps intensify the delicious fruit flavors in the blend, while the smooth and spicy Colombia coffee adds notes of chocolate and provides balance. The roast profile and solid medium roast degree are designed to highlight fruit flavors and caramel-like sweetness.
