THE SECRET RECIPE
INSPIRATION & COFFEE PROFILE
At Soldadera we have decided to focus on this type of coffee, Cafe de Olla, because of the strong symbolism this coffee has had in our life. When we were growing up in Mexico City, we would often wake up to the smells of Cafe de Olla, cooked by our grandmother, wafting through the walls. Our grandmother was a strong and independent woman who influenced us greatly when we were growing up. She helped us become the people we are today.
Cafe de olla is a blend of coffee & spices that was created during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). During the revolution, females and males fought together. The women soldiers, called “adelitas,” had many responsibilities and were extremely important during the Mexican Revolution. The women maintained the forces by assisting in battles, cooking, cleaning, etc. The adelitas even went on to become colonels.
To keep up the stamina of the soldiers the adelitas created a blend of spices, coffee, and sugar in clay pots which they would then hand out to all the soldiers for an energy boost in order to keep the soldiers energized throughout the war. This blend of coffee was henceforth called Cafe de Olla literally meaning “coffee from a clay pot.”
Our grandmother is our inspiration for creating Soldadera, a company focused on making a change in women’s economic inequality through the distribution of beverages.

Our Story
Who We Are
Soldadera Coffee is a family-rooted business created with one purpose: to share a unique cold brew that not only tastes incredible but also carries a story of strength, heritage, and community.
Our inspiration comes from our grandmother, Cristina—a fearless woman who stood for justice in Mexico. She was a social and political activist who fought against inequality, especially for women, with both a fiery spirit and a compassionate heart. Cristina showed us that one person’s courage can make a difference, and her legacy continues to guide everything we do.
Our Inspiration
Some of our earliest memories are of waking up before sunrise, traveling with Cristina to Mexico City’s beautiful Spanish-style cathedrals. As soon as we stepped off the Greyhound buses, she would set up carafes of steaming hot Café de Olla and offer it freely to the community.
On those chilly mornings, with the aroma of cinnamon and spices filling the air, we learned something important: coffee can be more than a drink—it can be an act of kindness, a way to bring people together, and a symbol of care. That’s the spirit we pour into every can of Soldadera Coffee today.
Every sip is meant to transport you to the vibrant heart of Mexico, where flavors are bold, culture runs deep, and women are the backbone of families and communities.
Our Purpose
Soldadera Coffee is more than a beverage—it’s a movement that honors women.
Women represent 47% of all U.S. employees, yet their voices and rights are still challenged far too often. From inequality in the workplace to larger social issues, women continue to face barriers that should no longer exist.
We believe it’s time to change that. By sharing our coffee, we’re also sharing a message: women matter, their voices matter, and their contributions shape our communities every single day.
When you enjoy Soldadera, you’re not just drinking coffee—you’re joining a legacy of courage, resilience, and progress. Together, we can uplift women’s stories, celebrate their strength, and brew a better future.
