Marysabel Caballero and Moises Herrera have been repeatedly recognised and awarded for cultivating exceptional coffee in Honduras. Together, the husband and wife team run the 200-hectare Caballero Estate, which they have divided into 17 different coffee farms and a wet mill called Xinacla - the central mill where they receive, document and process all their coffee. The pair are wholly committed to sustainability and biodiversity across the farms, with a sharp focus on soil quality. They produce their own organic fertilisers, and intercrop coffee with shade plants and native fruit trees.

This coffee was grown in the lush, high-altitude landscapes of Banko Gotiti, in the Gedeb woreda on the southern edge of Yirgacheffe. Cultivated by smallholders who typically tend plots of 1 to 2 hectares at 1950-2100 masl, these farmers maintain traditional ‘coffee gardens’ where landrace varieties are intercropped with false bananas and indigenous shade trees. This district is celebrated for producing some of the best Ethiopian coffees, with high elevations and agroforestry systems contributing to an elegant, expressive cup profile.

Ruera Estate lies in Juja Sub County, Kiambu County, on gentle rolling hills at 1577 masl. The 190 hectare estate cultivates Kenya’s renowned SL28 and SL34 varietals, alongside the newer, disease-resistant Batian and Ruiru 11. Unlike many Kenyan coffees, which come from hundreds of smallholders and cooperative stations, Ruera is a single estate operated by Coffee Management Services (CMS). Coffee is grown, harvested and processed by a single team, allowing quality to be monitored across every stage of production. The estate employs over 300 local residents each day, with around 30% living on site.

Aquiares Estate sits on the fertile slopes of Costa Rica's Turrialba Volcano and remains one of the country's most progressive coffee farms. Internationally recognised for its commitment to sustainability, the carbon-neutral estate balances coffee production with environmental research, biodiversity and long-term community investment. Entre Ríos, meaning 'between rivers', is a blend of Marsellesa and Red Obatá varietals, developed to showcase Aquiares' terroir through an exceptionally sweet, balanced and approachable cup.
