 About This Filter 

Behind The Leaf (BTL), a remarkable micro-mill in Myanmar’s Shan State, stands as a 
shining example of how women are cultivating exceptional coffee while brewing lasting change within their community.

These resilient women, including single mothers and widows, have transformed significant challenges into opportunities for growth. Through BTL’s empowering initiatives, they’ve secured stable income, developed valuable skills, and built a supportive network that strengthens both their families and their futures.

From coffee farm managers and roasters to bookkeepers and quality control supervisors, the women of BTL have established themselves as leaders in every aspect of coffee production. Their journey from facing economic hardship to 
achieving financial independence showcases the transformative power of opportunity 
and community support.

By partnering with BTL, we’re proud to support these remarkable women as they continue to shape the future of specialty coffee in Myanmar while building better lives for themselves and their families.
