Generally speaking, our common competition beans are marked with C.O.E. Refers to (Cup Of Excellence) International Coffee Cup Test, C.O.E. The judges are the most credible in the top coffee competition, and the ones who can stand out from the strict competition are the best coffee in that country that year, and they have to keep a high score in each cup test to be at the top before they can be crowned with C.O.E. The winning logo shows that the coffee beans of Yusheng Manor will adopt a unified and specific online auction method to allow buyers around the world to bid for coffee beans in an open and transparent manner. in this way, the popularity of outstanding award-winning farms spreads quickly and the coffee in competition batches can get a better price.

The way of the coffee cup test

Each coffee farmer association carefully selected about 25 murmur35 bags about 60 kg each, and sent them to the conference warehouse for preservation before the competition until the end of the auction. The first stage is the preliminary competition, the second stage is the semi-finals, and the third stage is called TOP 10. The minimum score of each stage must reach more than 84 points to qualify. Under this strict competition system, there are about 20 murmur30 farms or estates left, ranking the competition beans according to their scores.

COE is Cup of Excellence, which stands for "the perfect cup of coffee", also known as "excellent cup". It is the most important boutique coffee bean competition in the world. First held in Brazil in 1999 by the Coffee Excellence Organization (ACE), it is currently the most well-known and authoritative boutique coffee competition in the world and the most credible competition to judge top coffee.

The competition is usually held once a year, when the growers of boutique coffee submit their best beans to the national or international censors. The coffee must accept the strict rules of the competition, and the winning manor must go through six hurdles, usually 500 estates are screened to end up with less than 30.

Why is there a COE?

The traditional coffee industry mainly pursues a large number of marketing and commercial transactions, but driven by huge profits and commercialization, more and more attention has been paid to the quality and production source of coffee.

Before the advent of the Zhuoyue Cup, most coffee beans were mixed, the wonderful flavor of different coffee beans could not be highlighted, the flavor characteristics were submerged in the national or regional names, and the really good beans were often buried.

In order to give producers an incentive to grow high-quality coffee, it is not just "I want to grow delicious coffee!" In order to make coffee growers change their lives and extricate themselves from poverty, it is necessary to make high profits. Therefore, there is a high-quality coffee evaluation meeting, using the COE system, according to the score evaluation ranking.

Affected by the attractive price, coffee growers who used to focus on production have also begun to work on quality, trying to create the most flavored coffee "beauty" to run.

The "beauty" of top coffee depends not only on the variety and genes of coffee, but also on a series of climatic and human factors: for example, the high-altitude lava of South America precipitates into the soil that gives birth to it, and the grower calculates the best mature period to harvest coffee beans, and then choose the right methods, such as washing, drying, peeling, polishing, picking. Finally, there is the art-like baking process, which is what the judges gathered at COE are good at.

The role of COE

This system can not only enhance the coffee manor's desire for production, but also enhance the evaluation and local popularity of the coffee manor and its surrounding areas, and then increase the coffee trading volume, which has multiple effects.

The benefits of competitive coffee beans

Can be found in C.O.E. Each coffee that won the prize must have its own unique characteristics, and the quality of winning from many farms must have gone through severe challenges, and the quality is also the best in many farms. The game bean itself has very few defects, and the color is also similar to the consistency of size and particles. Even after roasting, the expansion degree is consistent with the color of the coffee, and the taste will reflect the growing environment, soil and topography. Even the way of handling raw beans creates a unique flavor. Although the conditions of coffee beans produced on the farm are not much different, participating in the competition is definitely to select the best beans on the farm to compete.

With the experience of C.O.E competition, it is easier to establish information and contact with foreign buyers in production, transportation and marketing, which can help foreign buyers to solve their worries. If a farm with a small output of about 30 murmurs and 40 bags is easier to trade with more foreign small coffee buyers, it will benefit both sides without having to trade directly through middlemen or large coffee traders, in addition to eliminating the profits of middlemen or large coffee traders. The main savings are freight costs and inter-country tariffs, which are the driving force behind the efforts of coffee producers.

The award-winning manor has won C.O.E in its efforts to improve its quality. Recognition, not only to win a major award, but also to enable farmers to get the price and feedback they deserve, to participate in C.O.E. The competition not only makes farmers more committed to improving the quality of coffee beans, but also creates a market for boutique coffee.
