Clarena’s Coffee began as a mother-daughter, women-owned brand, founded by Clarena McKinney, so families could share a better cup — and so the families who grow that coffee could share in the reward. Every bag we sell is women-grown specialty coffee, freshly roasted in New England, from farms we know by name.
Today we are proud to welcome a new group of ambassadors into our Coffee for a Cause Ambassador Circle. If you have been looking for a simple, honest way to support women-grown coffee and earn something for the recommendations you already love to make, this program was built for you.
What is Coffee for a Cause?
Coffee for a Cause is Clarena’s Coffee’s Ambassador Circle. Our mission is fueling families and empowering sustainable coffee farming.
Ambassadors share a unique link or coupon code with their communities. When someone buys a bag through that link or code, the ambassador earns 20% commission, paid monthly. The people they share with get 10% off at checkout. It is a direct way to represent a mother-daughter founded brand that bypasses massive corporate supply chains to support estate leaders and sustainable, multi-generational family farms.
Approved ambassadors also receive a complimentary bag of our women-grown coffee, freshly roasted in New England, to feature. They gain early access to limited micro-lots (such as La María), custom brand assets, and the chance to be featured on Clarena’s official social channels.
The women and families behind every bag
When you share Clarena’s Coffee, you are sharing the work of real growers.
In Antioquia, Colombia, that includes Lina Posada; Paula Concha; Stella and her daughter Yolima of STELLITA; Amalia of Proyecto Renacer; and the Taborda Cortez family of Finca La María, a farm that has produced coffee since 1945 and today tends about 12,000 coffee trees. In Brazil, it includes Yuki of Fazenda Santo Antonio.
We are honored to roast their coffee here in New England and to put it in the hands of people who care where it comes from. Shop their coffees anytime in our online shop, or read more about the growers on our women growers pages.
