The Essence

The Cup of Excellence, established in 1999 and often referred to as the "Oscars of the Coffee World," represents the pinnacle of coffee competitions, identifying the best coffee farms in each participating country. Rigorous testing by national and international judges ensures only the top-scoring coffees are awarded and auctioned, with proceeds directly benefiting the winners. From the 2025 competition, we are proud to present Finca Dariela’s extraordinary Typica — the highest-scoring of its kind, achieving an outstanding 90.5 points. With just 810kg produced in the world, and only a small portion secured by us, this coffee is an exceptionally rare treasure. Expect a vibrant and complex cup, with notes of passion fruit, dried fig, and a playful hint of bubblegum.
THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

A refined, complex coffee with a subtle strawberry lift, bright citrus acidity, and a smooth molasses richness, finishing with a touch of orange peel and gentle floral elegance.

This Honduras coffee showcases an extraordinary blend of flavours. Each sip reveals a new layer of taste that is extraordinary.
