First, samples of raw coffee beans are collected by Banexport, and then tested by buyers' cups around the world for finals and auctions. The final bid price of the champion batch is also very high. In addition to allowing producers to receive income directly according to quality, such competitions also enhance the diversity of coffee quality through such activities.

There are many small farmers in this producing area, and the fine coffee beans produced in micro batches are full of flavor in the producing area. In recent years, with the attention to the quality of coffee and the demand for fine coffee in the international market, micro-production areas have emerged as the times require, and small-scale coffee farmers have been organized to provide micro-batch-based Micro-Regional Selections, and dozens of small farmers have provided their unit harvest to be integrated into a micro-batch to sell. Quality control will be better, so they will have the opportunity to select many high-quality small farmers' coffee in specific micro-producing areas through each batch cup test. Its coffee flavor is more lively, with fresh aromas of ripe fruit and caramel, and the combination of sour taste and sweet taste is well balanced.
