Today's morning the Guatemala Cup of Excellence 2009 auction was held and farmers and coffee enthusiasts were at ANACAFE headquarters in Guatemala City watching through a large screen how the bids tried to seek new records. Unfortunately things were not as good as last year edition when the winner Finca El Injerto got an amazing $80.20/lb, this year they were also the leaders with a $22.04/lb. One of our coffee providers Finca El Socorro y Anexos got a fair $10/lb. Our congratulations for all the participants farmers!

Yikes, that's quite a drop, especially when you realize how much the purchasers will be making, selling by the pound or cup ; (
