This year we are thrilled to announce that our partner producer María Romalda took second place in the 2025 CODECH Competition in Guatemala! This annual competition is hosted at CODECH headquarters in Concepción Huista, where the 450+ members of the cooperative have the opportunity to submit their coffee for evaluation by a panel of cuppers. After three days of judging, the top 10 producers are awarded premiums, directly recognizing their dedication and craftsmanship. We have had the privilege of being a part of this competition for many years, and this year's panel included two cuppers from OZO's very own cupping team.

María's well-deserved recognition is a testament to her passion and hard work, and we’re honored to showcase her award-winning coffee exclusively at OZO for another year in a row. This exceptional coffee, available only to OZO customers, is a celebration of María's skill and the vibrant flavors of her farm. In the cup, you'll find layered and delicate lilac florals, paired with notes rich fig jam and bright fresh blackberries.

Thank you for being a part of our journey and for supporting the incredible producers who make OZO coffee so special.
