Bike: Java that Powers Women’s Pedals

September 26th, 2012 • BY

As far as java making goes, we thought DOMA Coffee Roasting Company was ultra cool. A boutique roaster based in the town of Post Falls, Idaho, just outside Coeur d’Alene, DOMA roasts nothing but small batches of organic, fair trade, and direct relationship beans. They roast on an eco-conscious Kestrel S35 roaster, which consumes 80 percent less gas than a conventional roaster. DOMA also employs compostable kraft bags with cool illustrations printed with soy-based inks on a hand-fed letterpress, 100 percent toxin-free cleaning supplies, and high-efficiency lighting.

But then we learned about DOMA’s La Bicicletta coffee that supports women’s cycling—and we realized just how cool this small but thoughtful coffee roaster really was. In 2009, the company partnered with Riverstone Women’s Cycling Team (aka Team Rep), a local, all-women’s cycling team, and developed the custom La Bicicletta blend (with an award-winning edgy skull illustration) to sell as a fundraiser for the team. The effort was a whopping success and La Bicicletta received enough recognition (and good taste reviews) last year to become the official coffee of the Team LUNA Chix pro cycling team.

“They travel the world over spreading the gospel of DOMA Coffee,” says Terry Patano, who co-owns DOMA with his wife Rebecca. “Why did we develop a coffee to specifically support women’s cycling? Because it’s fun and women on bikes will one day take over the world.” Every bag of the smooth, rich, and balanced La Bicicletta ($15.40/lb.) sold donates one dollar to women’s cycling. Get it here.
