In 2022, Charles, the founder of La Bohème Café, was invited to join the first Cup of Excellence international jury in Indonesia. During this competition, he had the opportunity to taste unique coffees that captivated him with their unmistakable taste. So when these coffees were auctioned, Charles did not hesitate to bid. With incredible perseverance and determination, Charles spent 8 hours at the auction. And his efforts were rewarded. He managed to get an exceptional coffee for La Bohème, which came in fourth place!
The Cup of Excellence is the world's most rigorous and prestigious coffee quality competition. Winning an award in this competition is no easy matter. The coffees that make it to the finals go through at least five rounds of judging by the best coffee tasters worldwide. Hundreds of cups are tasted from each sample; even a single flaw can be grounds for elimination. Coming in 4th place in this competition is an outstanding achievement and we are delighted to bring this fruity and floral coffee to your table.
