SEATTLE, U.S. — Bean Box, the leading online artisan coffee subscription service in the U.S., is proud to announce its partnership with the Cup of Excellence, the most prestigious competition and auction for high-quality coffees in the world. Through the service, these award-winning coffees will be available directly to coffee lovers in the U.S.
Bean Box will procure award-winning Cup of Excellence coffees from select countries and make them available to subscribers on a quarterly schedule and while supplies last. Starting today, consumers can subscribe to Bean Box for the opportunity to experience the Cup of Excellence’s 2019 Colombian 1st Place Award Winner, delivered fresh to their home.
