The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Other countries hold similar competitions without the help of the Cup of Excellence, some involving Internet auctions and some not. To my knowledge the competition with the longest history is the very modest, three-judge event held every year in Kona, Hawaii, in conjunction with the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival. Growers in Panama held their first competitions before the Cup of Excellence was organized, and now have added an Internet auction to their event (www.panamacoffee.org) .Costa Rica also holds its own "Crop of Gold" competition and auction www.scacr.com. India has held a competition for several years (www.indiacoffee.org) that includes its exotic wet-processed robustas and monsooned coffees as well as its fancy arabicas, although it does not offer the winners at auction. The competition/auction concept has now spread to Africa, with events planned for several countries in East and Central Africa.“
