Peru Coffee Creative Contest 🔚
I am very happy and honored to have had the opportunity to assist the Peru Business Office in organizing the "Peru Coffee Creative Contest," and I didn't expect to receive such a huge and enthusiastic response throughout the process.
The idea for this competition originated from the COVID-19 pandemic, which made it difficult for many people to go outside, thus affecting various industries. As one of the main importers of Peruvian coffee beans in Taiwan, Vela Ethan, together with Mr. Guro from the Peru Business Office, discussed ways to support the affected industries during this challenging time while promoting high-quality Peruvian coffee and other products. This led to the idea of organizing the "Peru Coffee Creative Contest." In order to prevent group gatherings and reduce the risk of infection, we planned the first round of online voting with a "visual" tasting event. Through online voting, we selected the top six, who then proceeded to the actual production competition, completing the entire contest process.
Although there were moments when the voting platform experienced technical difficulties due to an overwhelming number of participants, causing occasional system crashes, the organizers, service providers, and our company worked together in real-time to resolve the issues. This ensured that the voting event proceeded smoothly. On the day of the finals, we also live-streamed the event, allowing all coffee enthusiasts who followed the competition to watch the high-level performances of the six finalists. Additionally, they had the opportunity to participate in the judging process via online voting, which helped bring the competition to a perfect conclusion.
As the main co-organizer, I must express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Gu Rong, the representative of the Peru Trade Office, and all of his colleagues for their full dedication and support. I would also like to thank all of our sponsors: @葳得廣告 for providing the grand advertising prize, @馬克老爹咖啡 for offering us the venue and all the coffee equipment for free, @黑沃咖啡, @Hario, and @HIROIA, as well as all the Peruvian coffee bean suppliers for their efforts in assisting the participants with purchasing Peruvian coffee. I also want to thank the judges who participated on the final day: @江承哲, CEO of 黑沃咖啡 @Penny Lin, for not only serving as judges but also spending a lot of time and energy discussing the competition rules. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all the participants for their involvement. Everyone worked hard to create cups of Peruvian coffee filled with creativity. Of course, I must also thank all the enthusiastic viewers who participated in the voting. Without your passionate participation, this competition would not have generated such a tremendous response and discussion.
The competition has concluded perfectly, and I would like to congratulate the winning participants：
Works： A Journey to Peru 傑恩咖啡 高心傑 Champion. ( This is a drink that truly makes you want to finish it after just one sip. It perfectly balances every ingredient with the flavors of Peruvian coffee, presenting them in perfect harmony.)
作品： Coffee Vinicunca 芒果咖啡 王琴理 Second Place （With a perfect, confident, and steady demeanor, she utilizes the currently popular 400 times coffee technique combined with Peruvian coffee and easily accessible ingredients. Not only is the flavor unique, but it’s also a drink with high commercial potential.）
作品： The Empress Coffeestopover 呂文賓 Second Place （ The special two-stage drinking method allows the flavor to be perfectly extended. Although I was deducted points for forgetting to serve the Peruvian coffee base, the other performances are perfect.）
Although the other contestants did not win the top three places, it can be seen that each of their works was very attentive and they spent a lot of time and energy preparing.
Finally, once again, I would like to thank everyone for their enthusiastic participation and every friend and organization that sponsored this event. I hope that through this event, everyone will have a clearer understanding of high-quality Peruvian coffee. Many of the creative Peruvian coffees created by the contestants this time can be tasted in their cafes if you want! ! !
I hope that everyone will continue to like, love and support Peruvian coffee. If you have the opportunity to travel to Peru in the future, don’t forget to taste a cup of local high-quality coffee.
