A rehearsal auction built from the real sample list of our Honduras Next Generation pilot — nine lots from eight next-generation farms, each scanned and scored by the Uncrack Engine.

01THE ORIGIN

Every lot in Honduras Next Generation Auction arrives with the same file: a 16-component NIR chemistry read, a verified cupping score and the mill's own processing log. Honduras grew these coffees; the numbers let them speak for themselves before the gavel falls.

02IN THE MILL

Each lot is processed to the producer's own recipe — fermentation, drying and rest times are logged at the mill and travel with the lot's data sheet.

Harvest windows and moisture readings for this selection are listed per lot in the catalogue below.

Buyers used to taste my coffee and name their price. This season, the coffee brings its own numbers to the table.
