Evin Joel Moreno Reyes (Finca Las Acacias y El Mango)

"With every bean, a hope is planted, a dream is sown". Evin Joel Moreno Reyes took his very first steps in coffee farming driven by a profound hope to build a brighter future for his family. In those early, challenging years, his wife made the ultimate sacrifice, working abroad to fund their shared life project and lovingly develop the farms they now cultivate side-by-side.

Starting with a single plot, Evin's crops flourished, inspiring him to take a leap of faith into the Cup of Excellence. In 2013, he achieved 12th place, a deeply emotional milestone that allowed his wife to finally return home to Honduras so they could work the land together. Blessed by God, they expanded their farm to 8 manzanas, introducing exquisite varieties like Geisha and SL 28. His wife's brilliance has also shone brightly in the competition, winning 3rd place in 2019 and 2nd place in 2024—a beautiful testament to their shared devotion to absolute quality.

Evin credits the Cup of Excellence with transforming their lives, enabling them to invest in critical infrastructure like dryers and a wet mill, which in turn brought greater well-being to their beloved employees, who are a vital part of this beautiful story. This year, their magnificent lots—Mango, Acacia, and Limo—qualified for the competition. Despite the fierce storms that sometimes batter their region, Evin and his family hold firmly onto their faith, working tirelessly with the ultimate dream of one day standing in first place and giving thanks for the opportunities that allow them to produce absolute excellence.
