The ‘Cup of Excellence’ is one of the most respected competition and auction for high quality coffees in the world has awarded high points to the coffee that come from this particular hilly area. Many of the partners producers from the Company have Rain Forest certification and all of the Women producers have the local Amecafé Certification.
