CEO & Co-Founder @ SPIRIT ANIMAL COFFEE

Spirit Animal Coffee has just made coffee history in Honduras.

For the very first time, the 🏆 number one and 🏆 number two winning coffees from the prestigious Cup of Excellence (CoE) auction will remain in Honduras. Traditionally, these extraordinary coffees are swiftly exported abroad following the auction, leaving locals without the chance to savor the highest quality coffee grown in their own backyard.

Preparation process coffee, cup of excellence
But 2025 marks a turning point. Spirit Animal Coffee proudly secured both top rated coffee lots, ensuring that these exceptional beans will be roasted, served, and enjoyed right here in Honduras.

This victory is more than just a purchase; it's a celebration of local pride, commitment to sustainability, and dedication to empowering our community of Honduran coffee growers.

Soon, coffee enthusiasts visiting our state-of-the-art roastery and café in Roatán will have the exclusive opportunity to experience these award-winning coffees through our upcoming coffee omakase, an expertly curated, sensory-driven tasting experience unique to Central America.

For those unable to visit us in Roatán, we have great news: a limited quantity of these rare, specialty coffees will also be available for purchase through our online store. This means coffee lovers around the globe will have an unprecedented chance to taste Honduras’ very best coffee, shipped directly from the source.

By keeping these coffees local, we ensure that more value stays within Honduras, benefiting farmers, families, and communities across the country. Our success at the CoE auction symbolizes our ongoing mission: to create sustainable impact, elevate Honduran coffee culture, and share the exceptional quality our country has to offer with the world.

We’re deeply proud of this milestone and profoundly grateful to the talented producers who cultivated these incredible coffees. Their hard work, passion, and dedication to excellence are what made this achievement possible.

Join us in celebrating this historic moment. Whether you visit our roastery in Roatán or savor our coffee from afar, you're part of a meaningful journey, one cup at a time.

P.S. In addition to the #1 and #2 winning coffees, we're also offering a Cup of Excellence 2024 Honduras Geisha, ranked #10. This beautifully floral and vibrant lot is now available in limited quantities.
