Over the last few weeks we have been working to prepare everything for the event, and we’re quite excited about how things are shaping up! Let’s just say that if you haven’t traveled to Honduras for an origin trip, our booth will be the next best thing - so make sure to swing by booth #323 on October 11-12 for a few surprises!
Our Partners Coming Together!
One of the reasons we’re most excited for Coffee Fest is that our partners all the way from the farm to the cup are coming together. That’s right, we’ll have producer representation and several of our state-side roasting & cafe partners join us at the event.
Representing our group of farmers will be Selin Recinos, one of our longest standing partners! After seven years of working together, we know the value and knowledge he has to offer and we’re looking forward to hosting him in the U.S. just like has done countless times for us in Honduras!

On top of that, we have come together with a great group of roasters to share the best Honduras has to offer! Meet the lineup below:
These amazing roasters will be serving up some of our favorite Honduran coffee on pour over, espresso, and will bring some coffees for our daily cuppings as well!
Check out our schedule below so you don’t miss out on the action!

Coffees to Look Out For
Along with our roasting partners, we have carefully selected some of our favorite offerings from this season! The idea is to share a well-rounded experience where you can cup the coffees, and also try them out either on espresso or pour over.
Our repertoire will include a diverse array of coffees for several of our producing partners including Selin, Don Orlando, Victor Contreras, Bryan Bautista, Carlos Amaya, Luha & Issel, and many more - with a wide range of process, profiles & innovations!
Keep an eye out on our socials to stay up to date with the coffees we’ll be offering each day at our booth!
Uniting the Coffee Supply Chain
Above all we feel very grateful to be able to come together as importers, producers, and roasters! Over the last several years, we have worked to build long-lasting relationships across our supply chain and it’s a enlivening to see everyone come together around this beverage we love - to celebrate what unites us!

Everything we do revolves around the genuine impact that close relationships can have on all industry stakeholders. In the years to come we want to continue building on these relationships and bring together people in specialty coffee with the goal of working toward a more sustainable future.
Come Hang Out with Us!
With that in mind, we want to invite you to take part in our journey! Drop us a visit at Coffee Fest, try out some of our coffees, cup with us, and meet some of our partners!
We’d also like to extend an official invitation to listen in on the Spanish-language panel discussion: Is Specialty Coffee for Everyone? Andros will be participating and dropping his thoughts on the subject!
