Join us for an exciting voyage into the world of home coffee roasting competition, where we celebrate the skill, passion, and creativity of the home roasting community. This Master Competition is crafted to shine a spotlight on the distinctive character of three single-origin coffees and to showcase the talents of individuals who can master the art of roasting while emphasizing the specific characteristics we seek in each coffee. With three distinct categories, each dedicated to highlighting a specific attribute of single-origin coffee that we hold in high regard, we invite you to embark on a sensory adventure. In the true spirit of discovery and competition, we wish you the best of luck!
In each category, we will feature a single origin coffee known for a unique characteristic we admire. Blind tasting will be carried out for each submission, and scores will be allocated to evaluate the roast quality and how effectively your roast highlights the desired unique characteristics. We will recognize the highest-scoring coffee in each category and also bestow the title of 'Master Roaster' upon the competitor with the highest cumulative score across all three categories. You are welcome to submit in only one category, a couple or all three!
Prizes: The top scorers in each category, as well as the Master Roaster, will receive a prize package including a $25 online gift card, our exclusive Roaster's Cap, and a 12 oz. Bag of Something Special handcrafted by our Roasting Team. The Master Roaster will also be awarded a distinguished golden cupping spoon, 5 lbs of their preferred green coffee, and the prestigious title of 'Master Roaster' until our next competition, where a new champion will be crowned.
Public Cupping & Scoring Announcement: On Saturday, January 13th, we will host a public cupping event that is open to all competitors. This event will feature the top 5 coffees in each category. If you can join us, we look forward to welcoming you to this exclusive coffee tasting experience with our Bodhi Roasting Team. The coffee tasting will commence at 12 pm, and our warehouse will remain open for a couple of hours afterward. On this day only, we will also offer some special warehouse deals.
For those who cannot join us in person, we will send an online newsletter on the morning of January 13th, featuring all competition scores and highlighting our winners.
