Generally speaking, our common competition beans are the best quality coffee in that country, and we will adopt online auction to enable buyers all over the world to bid for coffee beans in an open and transparent manner, and define these coffee beans as competition batches of beans. Centralized storage in a unified warehouse, this way also makes the popularity of excellent award-winning farms quickly spread, and competition batches of coffee can also get a better price.

Each coffee that can win the prize must have its own unique characteristics, must go through severe challenges, and the quality is the best in many farms. The competition beans have few defects, have high consistency in size and particles, and are similar in color. Even after roasting, the degree of expansion is consistent with the color of the coffee, and the taste will reflect the growing environment, soil, varieties, and even the way raw beans are treated, thus creating a unique flavor. Although the conditions of coffee beans produced on the same farm are not much different, participating in the competition is definitely to select the best beans on the farm to compete.

The so-called competition beans refer to the coffee beans of the competition batch, not the coffee beans produced by the winning estates, and the award-winning estates will also produce coffee beans in non-competition batches. For example, the geisha of the Jade Manor of Panama have the champion beans es-09, there are also batches of US $15 per pound, and there are also non-geisha Panamanian Jade Manor Coffee. In terms of quality, of course, they are not as good as the competition batches.

The competition is based on coffee beans from different estates in the same country. Therefore, coffee beans from different countries cannot be compared. Coffee beans with high scores in country An are not necessarily better than those in country B.

Coffee beans are crops, and the weather, climate and environment are different from year to year, and the quality and yield of production are also different. therefore, the past achievements of the award-winning farms should not be included in the competition in the current season, but should be based on the results of the current season. For example, if the coffee beans produced by the coffee farms that won the prize in 2011 are not competition batches, the quality and price will not be better and higher than the award-winning batches.

Some small farmers have a small output of coffee beans, but just because they do not produce much, they can cultivate and take care of them more attentively, and the quality will be better, so the smaller the batches of race beans, the better.

The judges of this coffee competition vary from year to year and from country to country, and the preferences of each judge are also different, so the criteria for judgment will not be the same, but there is still a certain level. Moreover, choosing coffee beans in the competition batches can avoid bad farmers mixing other varieties of coffee beans to confuse the public, which is also one of the advantages of choosing competition beans.

The red bid of the Panamanian Emerald Manor belongs to the coffee beans in the bidding batch, while the blue bid is the batch that does not participate in the bidding.
