PARIS – More than 100 coffees from 25 producing countries will be judged in Paris. Great emotions to come especially concerning countries that are already known for their high quality coffees like Colombia, Mexico or countries may be not so famous for their coffee like: Nepal, Tanzania, or Thailand, not forgetting those that are participating in the rebirth of African coffees like Central Republic of Africa, Togo or Cameroon.
Whichever system of certification or assistance given to producers, inexorably, each year share of the value returned to producing countries reduces. However on consumers side, a new passion for coffee is emerging, driven by coffee fanatic baristas or multinational manufacturing capsules.
Through its contest of coffees roasted in their countries of origin, AVPA participates in the gastronomic and economic recognition of producers that are now capable of roasting their great coffees. Just like wine or olive oil producers, they also express passion and ambition that has to be recognized in the for front of the gastronomic capital, Paris
