Soldaderas Blogs

A quality 12-year education is something we take for granted in the U.S., but many young girls around the world face barriers to the most basic social ladders. This week we are highlighting a Soldadera who has stood on the front lines of the fight for all women's right to determine their own future.

In the first entry of our International Women's Month blog series, we will look into the life of Frida Kahlo, one of Mexico's most influential female artists and an icon for the indomitable spirit of women.

We had an exciting kickoff to the week in Milwaukee at Meijer's Roadmap to Retail event on Monday and walked away feeling pumped for the future of diversity and inclusion in retail.

All of our cold brew flavors have a story attached to them that pays homage to our Mexican culture. In this week's blog, we'll steep ourselves in the tradition of our Jamaica hibiscus tea blend.

As we enter the New Year, many of us make resolutions to work toward being better versions of ourselves. Most of the time, our resolutions focus on exercising more and eating healthier.

We had a blast last weekend at the Grand Rapids Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. This is a special time of year for us because we get to reflect on the Mexican culture that inspires our brand and our amazing coffee.

A lot of coffee roasters talk the talk about fair trade, but Soldadera Coffee is determined to find partner companies that walk the walk.

As many of us now are making travel plans for Thanksgiving, Soldadera Coffee is particularly thankful for community partners who share our passion for telling unique cultural stories that anyone can enjoy.

We at Soldadera Coffee make it our mission to uplift women entrepreneurs, and as a minority- and woman-owned coffee company, we are proud to partner with another local beverage brand, ZINI Vodka, for the Grand Rapids International Wine Beer and Food Festival this weekend at DeVos Place.

Happy Women's History Month! Join us as we celebrate the incredible Soldaderas, the brave and resilient women soldiers who fought during the Mexican Revolution. Despite not being officially recognized or compensated for their services, these women endured harsh conditions and paved the way for gender equality. Let their strength inspire us to fight for what is right, from the battlefield to our homes.  Soldaderas and honors their contributions to womens rights, culture and history. By enjoying a cup of Café de Olla, we can pay tribute to these incredible women and their impact on society. Check out our latest blog post to learn more about the legacy of the Soldaderas and their contribution to Mexican culture and history.
