This washed gesha won the Guatemala Cup of Excellence in 2023. It scored 91.13 to win the most prestigious coffee quality competition in Guatemala. In 1999 Diego de la Cerda (3th generation owner),took over El Socorro from the generation before him. His focus was on continuing the rich legacy of excellence but also on completely rebuilding their approach to processing.

這款水洗藝妓咖啡榮獲2023年危地馬拉COE咖啡大賽冠軍，以91.13的高分摘得桂冠，摘得危地馬拉最負盛名的咖啡品質桂冠。 1999年，第三代莊園主Diego de la Cerda從上一代接管了El Socorro咖啡莊園。他不僅致力於傳承莊園卓越的咖啡傳統，更著力於徹底革新其加工工藝。

Their milling processes have evolved dramatically since Diego took over and the results have been staggering. "Instead of using cold water, we have applied hot water to speed up the fermentation process. In this shorter period of fermentation, the coffee grain keeps its density. It also helps maintain the grain’s components pure and natural ( sugars, oils, etc.).”

自從Diego接手以來，莊園的碾磨工藝發生了翻天覆地的變化，成果令人矚目。 「我們不再使用冷水，而是採用熱水來加速發酵過程。在更短的發酵時間內，咖啡豆能夠保持其密度，同時也有助於保持咖啡豆成分的純天然狀態（糖分、油脂等）。

Promoting the biodiversity of his land and maintaining a high level of terroir quality checks, Diego has managed to achieve the quality that has earned him the 2023 title. Diego’s energy has brought vitality to the community around the farm, and every year pickers line up for their spot on the team. His farm has become a source of pride for the area.If that isn’t enough, it’s El Socorro’s 4th year of winning 1st place at COE.

Diego致力於保護莊園的生物多樣性，並堅持嚴格的風土品質把控，最終成就了這款榮獲2023年冠軍的咖啡。他的活力為農場周圍的社區帶來了生機，每年都有採摘者排隊爭取加入他的團隊。他的農場已經成為當地的驕傲。不僅如此，El Socorro莊園已經連續四年在COE比賽中獲得第一名。
