Central Regional Cup Tasting Competition

Toronto, St. Lawrence Market, July 6

Cup Tasting Competition is a fun and exciting event.  It showcases the coffee cuppers’ ability to demonstrate their speed, skill and accuracy in distinguishing the taste differences in specialty coffees.

Three participants at a time taste coffees arranged in eight triangle set (groups of three). In each triangle, two cups are identical, one is different. Using skills of smell, taste, memory and concentration, the competitor will try to identify the odd cup in the triangles, in the shortest time possible. After eight minutes, the round stops and the competitor discovers how many correct they have selected, by lifting their selections to reveal whether or not there is a mark on the bottom of the cup.

12 competitors compete in 4 heats (3 competitor s per heat)

Top 3 competitors advance to the final round. Competitor with the most correct selection in the least amount of time wins.
