Nicaragua Cup of Excellence

Wow, what a day. The Nicaragua Cup of Excellence auction just ended. Lot #1 sold for an amazing $47.06 per pound. As first timers to the auction I think we did pretty well. We were able to secure a bag of Lot # 4 Las Termopilas, a truly excellent coffee.

Las Termopilas was the top organic coffee in this auction, and one of the highest scores an organic coffee has ever received in the history of the Cup of Excellence. It's sweet, with bright acidity, and flavors of honey, blueberries and brown sugar.

Above is a picture of Nicaraguan coffee farmers that gathered to watch the auction live. I assure you we were just as excited as they are to participate the auction. Stop by for a cup in mid to late July when our bag arrives in Olympia.
