FROM JOSÉ’S WORLD TO EBEL
The farmer behind this auction coffee is José Cuellár Fajardo, with whom Ebel Coffee has built a longstanding direct partnership.
His farm, Finca Jerusalén, lies in the Santa Bárbara region of Honduras, at an altitude of 1,350–1,600 metres. Here, coffee grows in the shade of native mountain forest, which José tends with the same care as his coffee plants. He grows a range of varieties, including Gesha and Parainema, exploring how different processing methods can bring out their flavours.
Each harvest brings new possibilities and surprises, but behind every coffee is the same person – with his knowledge, experience and love of unspoilt nature.
TRINIDAD, SANTA BÁRBARA, HONDURAS
FOREST FARM
1350–1600 m a. s. l.
40 kg of green coffee across four separate lots: three 5 kg lots and one 25 kg lot. Only 50 kg of Romeo & Julieta was produced in total, the remaining 10 kg is reserved for tastings, presentations and other project needs.
The auction runs from 9 to 12 November 2026.
Schedule for each lot:
We’ll keep you updated throughout the auction via the email address you register with. We’ll confirm every bid, notify you whenever you’re outbid, and let you know if you win!
Of course! We’d be happy to roast your auction coffee here at Ebel Coffee. Our roaster has a 5 kg capacity, so we can roast a 5 kg lot in a single batch. If you win the 25 kg bag, you can store it at our roastery and have it roasted in 5 kg batches whenever you need it.
Coffee naturally loses some of its weight during roasting. With our roasts, this amounts to around 600 g per 5 kg batch, so 5 kg of green coffee will yield approximately 4.4 kg of roasted coffee.
FOUR LOTS. FOUR OPPORTUNITIES.
50 kg in the world
40 kg up for auction
9–12 NOVEMBER 2026
The previous edition of Poker Coffee Auction has now closed. The 2026 auction is dedicated exclusively to Romeo & Julieta.
