ACE Private Collection Auctions

Adhering to ACE’s mission of rewarding exemplary coffee farmers, we are proud to announce the launch of our Private Collection Auctions. By pinpointing exceptional producers with this program, we will curate auctions with organizations and farmers who best exemplify ACE’s standards with our Cup of Excellence programming. With these curated auctions, we hope to expand our reach and serve even more farmers worldwide. 

We plan to work with farms, estates, and interested organizations who meet the rigorous standards that ACE has pioneered since its inception in 1999. If you are interested in partnering with us in a auction, please email [email protected]. 

On July 23, 2019, we partnered with London Based, Qima Coffee, for the first-ever Private Collection Auction between and ACE and QIMA. Nearly 500 micro lots were narrowed down to the top 33 by a jury comprised of professional tasters from Dubai, USA, Australia and France. The competition was held in Portland, Oregon June 24th and 25th. This auction represented the largest auction in Yemen’s specialty coffee history.
