What is a Competition Lot?
Coffee at the highest standard
The peak of award-winning coffees
A Competition Lot is a special category: coffees evaluated by Q Graders in international competitions that achieve the highest scores. They sit above everyday specialty coffee in quality expectations.
Every Competition Lot goes through full SCA cupping protocols. While 85+ can define the category broadly, at Los Andes we only offer Competition Lots from 88+ upward.
- Q Grader–backed scored by internationally certified experts.
- Strictly limited often only a few hundred kilograms per lot.
- Distinct processing the best of experimental and traditional methods.
- Full traceability every step from farm to cup is documented.

What makes a Competition Lot stand out
Competition standards
These coffees earned top jury marks internationally across aroma, flavour, body, acidity and balance.
Scientific evaluation
Trained Q Graders assess to SCA standards using blind cupping — objective criteria, not opinion alone.
Rare and valuable
Very small volumes; a producer may only yield a few bags at this quality in a year.
Innovative processing
Many lots use honey, natural and experimental techniques beyond classic washed processing.
Distinct microclimates
Often sourced from parcels with ideal altitude, soil and climate — frequently micro lots.
Producer story
Behind every lot is a farming family with years of dedication to their craft.
