We put our best efforts to our work and transmit it to our workers. We apply all the wet processing methods recommended by the IHCAFE to maintain the quality of our coffee. How does it feel to be a winner in the Cup of Excellence? Its an honor for my region and my country.

In recent years we had participated but were unable to enter the competition. This time we were given the opportunity and our coffee was a winner. I feel very proud to be a coffee producer.
