TORONTO – Chatelaine has long made it a goal to “Make Everyday Extraordinary” for its audience of smart and discerning Canadian women. Now, Canada’s leading women’s brand is making every morning extraordinary, too, with the launch of Chatelaine Coffee—a crisp custom blend that’s a perfect start to the day.
Available in Longo’s supermarkets across Greater Toronto starting today, Chatelaine’s organic, fair-trade beans are carefully curated by the Chatelaine Kitchen Powered by GE Café and custom roasted one batch at a time to deliver the ultimate bold flavour and freshness.
Plus with every purchase, customers support Café Femenino, an initiative that’s dedicated to improving the lives of women in the coffee-picking communities across the globe.
“This delicious coffee is something Canadian women can feel good about bringing into their homes,” said Marnie Peters, Senior Director, Brand Development for Rogers Publishing. “By teaming up with Longo’s we know we will be reaching discerning Canadians who love high-quality, fair trade products that support other women.”
Chatelaine Coffee is available two ways:
- A Duo Pack, with one tin of coffee and one travel mug ($19.99)
- A Triple Pack with two tins of coffee and a coffee grinder ($34.99)
Café Femenino Foundation
A percentage of every purchase of Chatelaine Coffee goes to the Café Femenino Foundation (www.coffeecan.org). A non-profit organization, the Foundation was formed to bring hope and aid to women and families in the poorest and least accessible areas of Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Nicaragua, Mexico, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.
The Foundation is currently working to extend aid to indigent women coffee producers in other developing countries throughout the world.
The Foundation relies on donations to the Three Wishes and Coffee Can Campaigns, regular donations from coffee roasters who sell Café Femenino Coffees, and other fundraising events throughout the year.
