In honor of International Coffee Day, we’re spotlighting the stars who are pouring their passion into coffee while showing how the bean has always been bigger than the brew in Black communities—as a space for creativity, entrepreneurship, and connection.

From blends that tell Black American history with each bag to one Black woman’s take on French Press, 'MadameNoire' has you covered with five Black women-owned coffee brands to add to your cart during this International Coffee Day!

Today, Jessica Taylor is among the few Black women who own and operate a coffee business.
