La Colombe Coffee and Arcade Fire Announce RaRa Coffee

In Haiti, the sunshine, soil, and rolling mountains could mean real potential for coffee farming—and an infusion of much-needed jobs to the hemisphere’s poorest nation.

So Win Butler, lead singer for the band Arcade Fire, approached La Colombe Coffee with an idea: Create a new coffee, from Haiti, for Haiti—and funnel the profits right back to those who need it most.

They came up with RaRa Coffee, specially grown in Haiti, with the proceeds going straight to PIH and the Haiti Coffee Academy.

You're invited to the official release for RaRa Coffee:
