What the Judges Said
Nicaragua — ⭐⭐ 2 Stars
Our Nicaragua from the highlands of San Juan del Río Coco, Madriz, earned two stars from the Great Taste judges — a recognition reserved for foods and drinks that deliver something truly outstanding.
"There is a journey of flavour here, and it is a pleasure to take."
— Great Taste Awards 2026
Grown by smallholder families at up to 1,800 metres, shade-dried on raised beds, and roasted to a medium profile, this Nicaraguan cup has always been one of our favourites. It's wonderful to see the judges agree.

Peru Tambopata — ⭐ 1 Star
Our Peru from the biodiverse Tambopata Valley — nestled between the Andes and the Amazon — picked up a well-deserved 1 Star.
"An inviting toffee apple aroma, with brown sugar and green apple coming through."
— Great Taste Awards 2026
Naturally processed and hand-picked at up to 1,750 metres, this coffee is a true expression of its remarkable origin — sweet, layered, and full of character.
What Great Taste Means
The Great Taste Awards are judged blind by over 500 experts — chefs, buyers, food writers, and retailers — who taste and score products purely on what's in the cup. There are no brand names, no packaging, no marketing. Just flavour.
To receive any star is a genuine achievement. To receive two stars for Nicaragua is something we're deeply proud of.
