About the New Zealand Cup Tasters Championship
The New Zealand Cup Tasters Championship awards the professional coffee cupper who demonstrates speed, skill, and accuracy in distinguishing the taste differences in specialty coffees.
Coffees of the world have many distinct taste characteristics and in this competition format, the objective is for the cupper to discriminate between the different coffees. Three cups are placed in a triangle, with two cups being identical coffees and one cup being a different coffee. Using skills of smell, taste, attention and experience, the cupper will identify the odd cup in the triangle as quickly as they can.
A total of eight triangles are placed in each round. Then the top four will compete again in the final round to determine the next New Zealand Cup Tasters Champion.
Thank you to our sponsors: Ozone Coffee Roasters, Fetco via AMC, Cafetto, AMC Roastery Supply NZ, ACME & CO, Castaway and venue host Ozone Coffee Roasters.
