This October, coffee buyers from around the world have the chance to participate in an online auction featuring exceptional coffees from Peru and Colombia from cooperatives supported by the Progreso Foundation. On October 28 and 29, 2025, registered participants can bid on lots curated by 3 producer organizations:
- Rutas del Inca, a Peruvian cooperative with 275 members since 2013 (Fairtrade & Organic), offers two standout lots: Inka Essence and Chasqui Reserva. Inka Essence reflects the enduring Inca legacy—ancestral wisdom, respect for nature, and a deep connection to the land—grown at high altitudes in Cajamarca. Chasqui Reserva honors the chasquis, the messengers of the Inca Empire, combining exclusivity with generations of collective knowledge. Together, they showcase both quality and living heritage.
- Aromas del Valle, with 596 members since 2015 (Fairtrade, Organic, Rainforest Alliance), is dedicated to closing gender gaps and empowering women in specialty coffee. Their lot, Mestiza, raises awareness of women’s work in the sector, while the microlot from Norbil Pérez Tello of Finca La Chirimoya features innovative Geisha coffees shaped by Cajamarca’s unique microclimates. These lots highlight both inclusivity and excellence.
- Global Cafés, a Colombian cooperative with 256 members since 2012 (Fairtrade, Organic, UTZ, SPP), presents Cima Ancestral and Conexión. Cima Ancestral offers bright acidity, notes of panela, lemon, and honey, and a lively body. Conexión features chocolate and orange notes, medium body, citric acidity, and light nutty aftertaste. These coffees reflect the cooperative’s commitment to quality, traceability, and the flavors of Colombian highlands.
Organized by Progreso and Beyco, with the support of V-Auction, the auction runs for two days and offers buyers the opportunity to bid directly on lots from producers. The auction offers a unique way for producers to showcase their coffees to a global audience and for buyers to discover new sourcing opportunities. It’s a space to explore a variety of coffee profiles, connect with previously unknown producer organizations, and potentially establish long-term partnerships.
Beyond the cups themselves, the event highlights the people and communities behind the coffees. By bringing buyers and producers together in one platform, the auction opens doors to new connections and collaborations, helping participants navigate the global coffee market in fresh ways.
The auction will take place online and is open to all interested buyers. Registration is now available through the auction platform.
Auction Days: October 28–29, 2025
