The final of the 2016 World Coffee Cup Test Competition in China starts in Yangcheng in December.

Shanghai, July 10, 2015 / PRNewswire-Asianet /-- Coffee cup testing is not only a professional skill, a profession, but also a pleasure. What is a good cup of coffee? It needs to use professional evaluation methods to evaluate the quality of coffee. The significance of cup test is to evaluate and compare several different kinds of coffee at the same level. Because the differences between coffees are very subtle, observing the characteristics of these coffees (flavor, mellowness, freshness, etc.) is easily affected by different coffee extraction methods. In order to eliminate these factors, carefully prepared cup tests can taste the most basic inherent characteristics of coffee.
