Caribbrew
Launched in 2018, Caribbrew is the brainchild of Beverly Malbranche. Growing up in Haiti and knowing that Haitian coffee used to be well renowned in the 1960s and inspired by her uncle, a coffee connoisseur, she decided to embark on a journey to revive Haiti's coffee industry. Caribbrew partners with more than 1000 coffee and cocoa farmers in Haiti to create economic opportunities. The company hires young people in the capital of Haiti to package and export the coffee to the U.S. shipping facility in New Jersey, where they employ local residents. The female founder, Beverly, is proud to offer job opportunities to N.J. women, and their shipping facility is currently 75% female employed. In line with their mission, Caribbrew also supports a local N.J. non-profit that aims to educate disadvantaged Black boys in Newark. It's more than coffee-it's economic empowerment.
