Rancho Momokiemo, nestled in Coapilla, Chiapas, Mexico, at an altitude of 1480 meters, is a shining example of agroecological coffee farming. Situated in a region enriched by Zoque culture and surrounded by lush pine forests, the farm is near the picturesque Laguna Verde.

Costa Rica Cup of Excellence #3 Experimental [Score 90.42]

Tasting notes: Apricot, papaya, honey, cacao, sweet & sugary, crisp acidity
Retail 4oz: $35

Monte Llano Bonito, part of Francisco Mena’s Sumava de Lourdes Estate, sits at 1,670-1,700 meters and is subdivided into several distinct plots, including El Kinkajou, named for the small nocturnal animal often seen on the farm. Over the past eight years, roughly 6,000 SL28 trees have been established here alongside San Roque, a Costa Rican mutation of the SL28 variety. Cherries are picked fully ripe and undergo a slow, two-stage resting and fermentation process: three days in shade before depulping, followed by three more days in tanks. The result is a profile that captures what SL lineage does best in Costa Rica, bright fruit acidity, rich sweetness, and textured complexity with fine structure.

Peru Cup of Excellence #2 Gesha Bourbon Washed [Score 90.21]

Tasting notes: Peach, prune, florals, juicy, complex harmonious
Retail 4oz: $90

Campo Verde sits at 2,405 meters in the remote highlands of Inkawasi, Cusco - a region once considered too cold and too distant for coffee. Wilfredo was the first to plant here, and his pioneering effort has since transformed the landscape into a thriving coffee zone. The farm cultivates Bourbon, Caturra, Typica, and Gesha Bourbon under shade trees and follows careful post-harvest discipline: selective hand-picking, 36-hour fermentation, and slow drying on raised beds. The result is a cup that expresses altitude and intent through lifted florals, refined sweetness, and clean, structured acidity.
