Coming from Cauca, Colombia, this place has always been one of our special attention areas; unique planting environment, very potential. And the beans in this competition were really amazing!

Start sharing, let's introduce Colombia's powerful Cauca Best Cup!

Cauca is actually one of the most suitable coffee growing areas in Colombia; located in the southwest of Colombia, coffee cultivation is distributed in the high altitude areas of 29 administrative districts, up to 1758 meters to 2100 meters, super high! Brazil is 1200 meters tall.

Cauca's climate, rainy season, volcanic soil and other conditions are very suitable for coffee cultivation. High sunshine intensity and low rainfall, coinciding with the flowering season (July-August), just outside the equatorial calm zone, provide favorable flowering conditions for coffee trees.

The regular rainfall cycle, with the dry season in August-September followed by the rainy season, immediately provides favorable fruiting factors for coffee trees, further contributing to concentrated harvesting in the first quarter of the following year.

Compared to other coffee-growing regions in Colombia, Cauca has more variability in daytime temperatures. The average daily temperature is as low as 11 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature during the day is 18 degrees Celsius (4 degrees Celsius at night). The sharp temperature difference between day and night, it is difficult for people to survive, but it is very helpful for coffee beans, not only can slow down the growth rate of coffee beans, so that coffee beans can absorb more nutrients before ripening, but also can improve the acidity and give special sweetness, so that the flavor of coffee beans has more layers.

Although Cauca is one of the most popular regions for COE Excellence Cup, it is not as well known as other provinces, so since 2014, there have been competitions such as Cauca Best Cup, organized by famous American traders, local exporters and Colombia Coffee Association. About 200 samples were received for the first edition of the Cup of Excellence in 2014, and more than twice as many in 2015. About 500 small farmers competed for the competition, and the organizers selected the top 30 samples from more than 500 samples, and then the final top 12 were selected by an international jury cup. On the last day of the event, green bean merchants and bakers from all over the world participated in the Cup.

Competitions such as the Cauca Cup are actually helpful. Not only does it increase the income of small farmers and give them the opportunity to improve their living conditions, but it also makes them more willing to invest and improve in coffee cultivation and production to produce higher quality coffee.

And this time, the test card Excellence Cup campaign batch, among which the most amazing is the 10th batch of Pindamo! We took a medium light roast and got a rich aroma of toffee and hazelnut chocolate, thinking we were going for a strong cup of hot cocoa, but it turned out to be a fragrant cheese! The strong contrast between rich and sweet is instantly released on the taste buds. The sweet grapefruit has a clean and bright acid value, but the sweet and juicy taste is still eye-catching. Add ice and it becomes a refreshing grapefruit ginger juice!
