Dubai, September 1, 2025 (Qahwa World) – The annual Grounds for Health Auction will return on Thursday, September 18, offering roasters around the world the chance to acquire rare, high-quality green coffees and specialty equipment while directly supporting lifesaving women’s health programs in coffee-growing communities.
This year’s auction features contributions from some of the most renowned farms in the coffee industry. Among the highlights are a washed Geisha “Guabo” lot from Hacienda La Esmeralda in Panama, exceptional coffees from Finca El Injerto in Guatemala, and Hacienda La Minita in Costa Rica. The catalog also includes premium offerings from major traders such as Walker Coffee Trading, Keffa Coffee, and San Cristobal Coffee Importers, in addition to professional coffee equipment.
All proceeds from the auction go directly to Grounds for Health, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing and detecting cervical cancer in coffee-producing regions. The group currently operates programs in Ethiopia and Kenya, where cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among women, despite being entirely preventable with early screening.
“When we invest in women’s health, we invest in the future of coffee itself. Healthy women farmers mean thriving families, sustainable farms, and the exceptional coffee quality our industry depends on,” said Justin Mool, Auction Manager at Grounds for Health.
Müzayede, 2009'daki lansmanından bu yana sağlık girişimlerini finanse etmek için 1 milyon dolardan fazla para topladı. Geçtiğimiz yıllarda Kolombiya'daki Hacienda El Roble ve Brezilya'daki Daterra Coffee gibi çiftliklerin önemli katkılarının yanı sıra Walker Coffee Trading gibi tüccarlardan da güçlü destek alındı. 2024 müzayedesinde, küresel kahve topluluğunun bu amaca yönelik süregelen bağlılığının altını çizen yaklaşık otuz lot özel kahve sunuldu.
Roasters and industry participants can register through the official auction website to bid on coffee or equipment, or to make direct donations. Shipping costs are not included in the winning bids and must be arranged separately.
