Why you should know this person? ☕️ In the fertile region of El Güisayote, Honduras, Rina Meija is leading a quiet revolution in coffee farming. As a single mother and a committed member of the Cocafelol Coffee Cooperative, she is empowering women and changing lives one bean at a time. More than two decades ago, Rina set up her own coffee farm to provide for her children. Today, she leads by example, expanding her farm and adopting sustainable practices that not only improve her crops but also strengthen her community. As a key figure in the gender committee of Cocafelol, she works with other women to help them gain independence, improve their farming techniques, and build sustainable futures. "I want to help more women by strengthening their coffee farming knowledge," says Rina. "Empowered women can change their lives - and their futures." Next time you enjoy your coffee, think about the stories behind the cup. Thanks to Rina, coffee is more than just a drink - it’s a powerful tool for transformation and empowerment 🤎.

Culture is transversal. It is unique and global at the same time. It defines us in the plurality of our experiences as evolving and changing beings. And this is true even for an international pop culture icon like Whoopi Goldberg, this edition's special guest as a #Lavazza lover.

From Ethiopia’s legends to Brazil’s plantations, coffee’s story is full of twists, secrets, and adventures. 🌍☕ Curious to know more? Follow the lesson and uncover the fascinating journey behind your cup!

This is why you should know this person: Berthin Nzonza had just arrived in Italy, a place where everything was new — the language, the customs, the people. One morning, a volunteer invited him to a nearby café. At first, it seemed like an ordinary moment. But when the bartender placed those two tiny cups on the table, something profound began. Berthin hesitated. Back home, coffee was something different — large cups filled with water, just like his mother used to make. Noticing his pause, the volunteer smiled and asked a simple question that broke through the unfamiliarity: “How’s your family back home?” It was the first time in two months that anyone had asked. That small act of care and connection, shared over coffee, marked the beginning of Berthin’s journey in Turin. Today, Berthin Nzonza leads Mosaico – Actions for Refugees, helping others find their place in this vibrant city. Through Spazio Comune, a project supported by the Fondazione Lavazza, refugees aren’t just welcomed —they’re empowered to contribute, to lead, and to thrive. This is more than a story about coffee; it’s about the power of human connection. Spaces like Casa Mosaico foster community, bridging gaps through shared stories, skills, and yes, even coffee. As Berthin says, diversity - like coffee - gives us strength. When we blend our stories, our cultures, and our lives, we create a richer, more vibrant world. ☕ So, next time you sip your coffee, remember: it’s more than just a drink— it’s an opportunity to connect.

Cooking is culture. It starts from local roots and ingredients and goes on to become universal, enriching and redefining haute cuisine. Watch the interview with the Cheffe Ambassador Chiara Pavan and find out more on the 2025 #LavazzaCalendar #LetsBlend:  https://lnkd.in/eHjPQYSz
