The Specialty Coffee Association of Panama hold a yearly ‘Best of’ competition for their coffee producers, but this year they are doing things a little differently! Instead of bringing in the international jurors to cup and score the samples in Panama, they have sent the samples out to selected jurors, to be roasted and cupped in labs across the world!
I’m honoured to be chosen as one of these jurors, and while all of SQM will be cupping the coffees according to Best of Panama protocols, only my scores will be calculated towards the final result.
As part of this year’s Best of Panama, we’ll be opening up for the general public to come along and try some of the samples as well. If you want to come along to try some of the best coffees in Panama this season, you are now able to purchase a £10 ticket through our webshop. Places will be limited, so first come first serve!
You’ll be given the option of cupping the coffees using the SCAP cupping form, or to just enjoy them with out having to score!
The cupping will take place at the Square Mile Coffee Roastery on Saturday May 1st, 2pm.
