5 Latinx Coffee Brands to Support

Coffee is an integral part of Latinx life. According to Statista, about 60% of the world’s coffee is produced in Latin America. And the National Coffee Association’s Ethnicity and Coffee Report found that in the United States, 74% of us drink coffee on the daily. It is a huge part of our Latinx culture and our identity, and as a result, we have built Latinx coffee brands. A great coffee adds even more richness to our food, and gives us energy to seize the day.

National Coffee Day is September 29th. What better way to celebrate one of our favorite beverages by highlighting Latinx coffee brands to know? These are great companies that believe in representing Latin America and its stellar coffee beans, supporting local communities, and making the best café ever.
