3 - La Salsa - Honduras 2025 (Exotic Varieties)

Benjamin Paz, a two-time winner of the Cup of Excellence (COE), repeated his achievement from 2022. He has been participating consistently at a top level in COE since 2018, achieving different positions over time. He is a pillar in his community, working with San Vicente Exports to connect producers under this umbrella with international buyers.

Throughout this journey, he has set an example to be followed in the care, attention, and preparation of coffee and the land. This has also established him as one of the faces associated with quality coffee in Honduras, backed by his consistent performance in COE over the years. He takes pride and joy in seeing the fruits of his labor, as many producers from San Vicente Exports stand alongside him as symbols of coffee excellence.

Benjamin is grateful for all that IHCAFE does for producers with the technicians, particularly, their attentiveness to the needs of every farm. He appreciates the efforts of the team behind COE and the bridges they build with international buyers, making the annual process enjoyable. He eagerly anticipates what the next year holds for him and San Vicente Exports.
