Help Bring Tierra y Taza Coffee to Life!

A Latina-Owned Coffee Experience Rooted in Culture & Community
Hi friends! My name is Jennie Fuentes, and I’m the founder of Tierra y Taza Coffee—a passion project inspired by my family’s love for coffee, storytelling, and community. Growing up, my parents and tias/tios would gather around a pot of coffee, sharing dreams and supporting one another. That tradition shaped me, and now I want to bring that same warmth and connection to my community.

Our Mission
Tierra y Taza is more than just a coffee business—it’s a social enterprise rooted in culture, connection, and impact. As a Latina and woman-owned coffee company, our mission is to create a space where people gather, stories are shared, and every cup makes a difference.

We are committed to:

Honoring Latin American Coffee Culture – Serving organic, Latin-inspired drinks while supporting women coffee farmers across Latin America through sustainable and direct trade partnerships.

Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing – Prioritizing organic, fair-trade, and sustainably sourced ingredients, building relationships that honor both the land and the hands that cultivate it.

Empowering Women & Creating Jobs – Hiring and training women at risk (such as survivors of domestic violence or those transitioning out of homelessness), providing them with stable employment and career development opportunities.

Philanthropy & Giving Back – A portion of every sale will be donated every month to organizations that uplift women, communities, and social justice causes—both locally and globally.

Building Community – Hosting monthly events that celebrate Latin culture, support local artists, and create a space where people feel at home.

Tierra y Taza is more than coffee—it’s a place where tradition meets purpose. With your support, we can bring this vision to life and create a coffee experience that nourishes both people and communities.

The Dream: A Coffee Cart That Leads to a Coffee Shop
I’m launching Tierra y Taza as a mobile coffee cart—serving high-quality, Latin American-inspired coffee drinks at farmers markets and pop-up events in San Francisco. This is the first step toward opening a brick-and-mortar coffee shop, where we can build a true community gathering space.

Why I Need Your Support
Starting a coffee business takes more than just passion—it requires the right equipment to craft high-quality coffee that honors the beans and the culture they come from. Your support will help me purchase:

Espresso Machine – The heart of the operation, ensuring every shot is rich, smooth, and full of flavor.
Grinder – A high-quality grinder for consistent coffee grounds (a must for great espresso!).
Scale & Brewing Tools – Precision is key to delivering top-tier coffee.
Cart with Water Filtration System – A mobile setup to bring Tierra y Taza to life at farmers markets and pop-ups.

With your support, I’ll be able to start selling coffee from home, at local events, and at farmers markets, building the foundation for a future brick-and-mortar coffee shop that celebrates organic, sustainable, and Latin-inspired coffee culture.

How You Can Help
Donate – Any amount helps! Your support brings me one step closer to making Tierra y Taza a reality.
