Coffee beans also have to go through five passes to cut five generals into Beijing to catch up with the exam?

Ancient scholars studied hard in the cold window of ten years in order to climb step by step in the imperial examination system and finally become famous all over the world. But do you know? Coffee lovers love boutique coffee beans, but also through layers of evaluation, elimination and selection, even unknown coffee farmers, can also rely on excellent competition results to completely turn around, to create a page of manor legend.

The boutique coffee bean competition Cup of Excellence, referred to as CoE, is the most important coffee evaluation competition in the world today. Li Yating, a coffee manager and coffee professional in Osher, said that the non-profit organization ACE will hold individual CoE competitions for single coffee producing countries (such as Brazil, Colombia, Nicaragua and other 9 countries) to select winning coffee farms through cup tests at five levels, and many coffee farmers who do not have the money for marketing or do not know how to package. It is through CoE that coffee buyers around the world know his estate.

To understand CoE, you must first know what a cup test is. To put it simply, the cup test is a testing technique for "coffee that has not been brewed", which can clearly analyze the quality of coffee beans. The cup test with a simple certain proportion of shallow roasted coffee with water, because of the lack of baking decoration, each cup of coffee seems to appear without makeup, and the pros and cons of beans are instantly magnified. The focus of the cup test includes coffee cleanliness, sweetness, acidity, oral touch, sipping flavor, aftertaste, balance and overall evaluation.

Among the five hurdles, the presiding judge and domestic judges will first make a preliminary screening of coffee samples. There may even be more than 500 manors participating in the competition. Those who are qualified will arrange baking and test cup by cup, and those with a score of 84 can be promoted to the international review stage. The judges of the coffee competition at this stage are all international buyers with pure ripe cup testing technology. They have passed the two cup tests of these judges, with a score of more than 84 points, that is, they have the title of "annual winning manor" and can participate in open bidding on the Internet. At this point, the unknown manor finally stood out and made its mark in the history of the CoE winning list.

As for the fifth level, it is the Top10 finals that everyone yearns for for coffee growers, with the top 10 in the fourth level competing for the annual ranking, which is like the tense waiting for the release of the imperial examination list in the ancient imperial examinations to determine the honor and future income of coffee farmers. The next time you taste the boutique coffee billed as produced by Yusheng Manor, ask which country CoE chose it in, and don't forget to thank the serious coffee farmers for their hard work when you have a good cup of coffee.
