Since the first Cup of Excellence / Alliance for Coffee Excellence, Inc. (ACE) , these auctions have seen coffee producers bring in record prices, reaching above $180 per pound, while gaining worldwide fame. The first #CupOfExcellence auction in Brazil generated $2.60 per pound for the top-scoring lot. That was 25 years ago. Our nation joined COE in 2001, and Las Nubes farm's lot fetched an impressive $11 per pound back then. Later on, Arturo Aguirre from El Injerto set a new record at $80.20 per pound. From 2006 to 2013, Aguirre won Guatemala’s CoE auctions eight times, making a name for #Huehuetenango as a stand-out coffee region. Since 2001, 537 lots (1.17 million pounds) have been auctioned, generating $11.6 million. This year’s auction alone generated $446,322.47, averaging $23.75 per pound, sending top Guatemalan lots to roasters around the world.
