Osher Cup Test Report

Takesi Manor, drinking water and coffee after harvest treatment, with the melting of the mountains are cold snow mountain water, so we give her a nickname: Takesi Snow Ridge Manor; In addition to the low temperature and pollution-free environment, fertile and well-drained volcanic soil is also an element of full coffee flavor. Although Agrotakesi SA's group is rich, it deeply respects nature and lives in a peaceful way. It does not over-cultivate, and retains a large number of virgin forests and diverse ecological environments. It is famous for crops such as apples, orchids, and flowers. Now it has won the coffee competition champion. Takesi's reputation has spread even further.

Remember that the 2007 winner was Café de Cordillera, whose score was overtaken by the 2008 winner Café de Cordillera, who scored 92.03 points by the international jury, and Takesi Snow Pulse Manor, which scored 93.36 points in 2009, surpassing the 2008 winner and bidding for up to $35.05, the highest bid in 2009 in the CoE competition! Osher has been bidding for Bolivia's champion beans for 3 consecutive years, attracted by her delicate floral, charming sweet vanilla and clean and varied flavors! In 2010, due to a combination of factors, Bolivia decided to cancel the national competition. Looking at this batch of Takesi winning beans, it was a mixed feeling.
