INTERNATIONAL COFFEE TASTING
Since 2006, International Coffee Tasting, the competition organized by IIAC - International Institute of Coffee Tasters, has been an international point of reference for quality coffees.
​
An inclusive competition, open to all producers who wish to highlight their products. International Coffee Tasting is above all a commercial support: the awarded coffees increase their prestige and take on greater relevance in the market.
​
All the awards assigned by International Coffee Tasting have their strength in the strictly scientific method of the competition: quality is evaluated through blind tastings, performed by panels of verified sensory judges and a statistical validation of the results.
​
To participate as a sensory judge in International Coffee Tasting, it is necessary to have completed and passed the IIAC M1 course and sent a request to participate.
