Breaking New Ground: Daniella María Boza Carbonell Makes History

We are thrilled to celebrate an extraordinary milestone for IWCA El Salvador and for women in coffee worldwide.

Daniella María Boza Carbonell, a dedicated member of IWCA El Salvador, has officially earned the title of SCA–CVA Q Grader—and in doing so, she made history.

A Global First

Daniella participated in the first-ever Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) training offered by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) within the coffee industry. This groundbreaking course drew 18 highly skilled coffee professionals from around the world, each hoping to achieve this new standard in coffee quality evaluation.

Only four participants passed.

Daniella was one of them.

A Proud Moment for IWCA

As a woman in coffee and an active IWCA member, Daniella’s achievement is more than a personal milestone—it is a win for all of us who believe in the power of representation and opportunity. Her success demonstrates what’s possible when expertise, dedication, and opportunity come together.

Why It Matters

Becoming an SCA–CVA Q Grader places Daniella among an elite group of professionals shaping the future of how coffee quality is understood and valued. It elevates not only her career but also the visibility of IWCA El Salvador and women across the global coffee value chain.

Her achievement proves that when women have access to training, resources, and recognition, they lead the way—pushing boundaries and inspiring others to follow.

Congratulations, Daniella!

Your historic accomplishment is a proud moment for IWCA El Salvador, for our entire global network, and for everyone working to make coffee a more inclusive and innovative industry.
