  Thanks A. If anyone believes these type of competitions are a simple case of sending in a few packs of coffee so you can get a medal to use for marketing purposes, think again. The judges were strict and had a tendency to be quite "ruthless" in their assessments. A couple of my roaster colleagues did not score a medal and I was surprised at the feedback notes to the point I had to wonder "wow, was that my coffee or someone else's". FACT: The judges were not impressed with any of the Sustainable category entries (Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Organic, UTZ) for both the Sustainable Espresso and Sustainable Single Origin Espresso - so they simply did not award any medals as the standard was not deemed to be of an International level. What does that mean for the sustainability programs I wonder ? Can of worms me thinks........

  Thanks Guys, appreciate the comments and congrats to you too Jeff. WRT your comment Jeff "...I was surprised at the feedback notes to the point I had to wonder "wow, was that my coffee or someone else's"...." Me too ! That said however, very happy with my 3 x Bronzes: 2 x Blend - Milk Coffee category and 1 x SO Espresso categroy. especially as stated elswehere, these are volume stock coffees that get delivered day in and day out to cafe clients rather than small production specials. A.
