Here Are Your 2014 Good Food Award Coffee Winners

The 4th Annual Good Food Awards Ceremony took place late last week in San Francisco, honoring coffee roasters alongside craft producers in categories such as beer, cheese, spirits, oils and preserves. Fifteen winning coffees from 14 U.S. roasteries were deemed award-worthy out of a pool of 26 finalists.

The awards program has become one of the most influential in the coffee world, giving winners a chance to market the GFA seal and trumpet their coffees as the best of the best, both in terms of cup quality and sustainable and responsible practices. As its influence has grown and the growing program has gotten more competitive, so too has it taken some criticisms. (See our companion piece with GFA coffee awards committee chair Jen Apodaca to discuss how the program operates and what changes we might see moving forward.)
