【Note】
Mexican COE winner Pescadillo/Tienaa is presented by two owners: Antonia Valeria Ortiz / Mario Ponciano Velazco.  Mario Ponciano Velazco López runs the estate under organic system over 15yrs in East Santiago Nuyoo’s municipality, in Tierra Azul community.  Antonia Valeria Ortiz España manages the finca under organic system over 10 yrs in Santa María Yucuhiti community where introduced coffee over 100yrs ago.  According to Mario, there are more and more varieties, species, of plants and animals found in the estate since they engaged organic system.  Although cultivation requires more effort than before, they were proud of their work honored by COE Mexican program.  This auction lot was bit by WATARU Co.,  Japanese specialty coffee importer which also send cuppers in several COE programs.  More and more Japanese fond in COE auctions in these days, and I personally feel bitter with this phenomena.
