The Cup of Excellence is a prestigious international competition that recognizes and rewards the highest quality coffee produced by farmers around the world. The competition was founded in 1999 by the Alliance for Coffee Excellence, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting specialty coffee and supporting coffee farmers.
The Cup of Excellence competition is conducted in coffee-producing countries, where an international jury of expert cuppers evaluates samples of coffee from different farms. The coffee is scored based on its flavor, aroma, acidity, body, and other factors, and only the top-scoring coffees are awarded the Cup of Excellence.
Winning the Cup of Excellence can significantly increase the value and demand for a farmer's coffee, and it is considered one of the highest honors in the coffee industry. The competition also helps to promote transparency and fair pricing in the coffee supply chain by connecting buyers directly with farmers and providing a platform for the best coffees to be discovered and appreciated by coffee lovers around the world.
