Empowering women to rise above poverty through sustainable economic opportunities.

What’s going on at Full Circle Exchange HQ!

The secret is out and as many of you know something incredible is in the works at Full Circle Exchange HQ. We have been working hard over the last 12 months on our new line that involves some incredible collaboration. And it just may be bolder than a just-roasted cup of coffee, and sweeter than a bar of organic caramel cream latte chocolate. It is symbolic of the Full Circle Exchange mission to “Promote Justice and Cultivate Good in Everything We Do.” And, it’s really got the Full Circle Exchange women in a frenzy!

“It” will unveil itself on the NEW” Full Circle Exchange website March 15th, but we will be highlighting some of our favorite products here on FB and of course on our current website. Keep your eye out for some of the pics of the fabulous products and artisans as well as our ladies at the office…we here they have been getting into the boxes :)

An Intro to Ethiopian Coffee

You would think that someone who works for Full Circle Exchange would have a firsthand, educated insight as to the finer attributes of every one of our premium coffees. But I confess, until this morning’s “Office Cupping” I had not had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible aroma and magical flavor of true Ethiopian coffee. Lucky for me, our co-founder and head coffee pusher was sampling a freshly roasted batch this morning. Nothing like being in the right place at the right time! I could not believe I’d never had this variety. It’s like blending your favorite herbal tea with a gourmet coffee. Really–the best of both camps. I was so inspired by it’s truly unique qualities that I created a new Valentine’s Day gift around it…”From Ethiopia with Love.” A 12oz bag of organic Full Circle Exchange Ethiopian Blend coffee and a beautiful Ethiopian “Birr Coin Necklace” made by women artisans. Not only does it taste and look good, but it does good. The sale of the Ethiopian jewelry helps to fund healthcare and education for women and children in a community of HIV-positive Ethiopians.  Look for this and more incredible “Gifts of Goodness” to come online in time for Valentine’s Day!
