After cupping and calibrating together, coffees are scored, ranked, and auctioned in a vibrant, celebratory setting—often to the chant of “¡Vale más, vale más!” We were fortunate to secure several lots, including this #3 ranked coffee that we partnered on with our friends at Slone Coffee in Romania.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThis lot was produced by Andrea Scarpeta Chicue, a coffee producer whose story demands admiration. Though she was unable to attend the auction, her presence was felt through her coffee. Two years ago, Andrea was diagnosed with cancer. Despite this, she continues to steward her family’s farm, honoring a legacy rooted in coffee while teaching her children to carry it forward. For Andrea, coffee is not only a livelihood, but a way to preserve identity, strength, and future possibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWe paid $15 per pound green for this lot—an investment that reflects our commitment to supporting women producers who are pushing boundaries and producing exceptional coffees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThis coffee was produced using a traditional washed process: cherries are selectively handpicked, floated, and depulped the same day. The parchment undergoes 24–36 hours of fermentation before being washed clean and dried slowly on raised beds or patios for 10–15 days. After drying, the coffee is stabilized in parchment to ensure consistency before milling and export.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qqvbed-p83tee-lTBxed\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBags are 10 oz. and 2# Jars are 100 grams\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Waves Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"10 oz Whole Bean","offer_id":48946710708476,"sku":null,"price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams Whole Bean","offer_id":48946710741244,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lbs.
