Utopian Coffee recently took home the gold at the Global Coffee Awards U.S. & Canada competition, besting entries from across North America.

The Fort Wayne-based roaster earned the top honor at the Houston competition with five coffees that collectively won multiple gold, silver and bronze medals across several categories.

The award-winning lineup included coffees from Costa Rica, Sumatra, Ethiopia, Mexico and Colombia. An international panel of experts evaluated all entries through blind judging.

The win earns Utopian an invitation to the Global Coffee Awards ceremony in El Salvador in March. Gold medalists will advance to the Global Finals at that event to compete for the title of World’s Best Roaster.
