Guatemala Cup of Excellence 2009 – Winning Farms
The five week marathon of Central American coffee competitions came to a close this week with the finish of the 2009 Guatemala Cup of Excellence competition. The jury awarded the Cup of Excellence to twenty-three lots, including a repeat #1 winner (El Injerto), and two lots achieving a CoE Presidential award for scoring higher than 90 points on the final day.
I’ve listed the winning lots below; the detailed listing should be available on the CoE site shortly. Many thanks to Alistair Durie from Elysian Coffee in Vancouver for the regular blog updates and pictures from the event. Thank you for taking the time to keep us onlookers informed.
