    Costa Rica's elfinancierocr website reported on August 23 that the "Cup of Excellence" coffee contest was founded in 1999 by the international coffee organization Alliance for Coffee Excellence, and local competitions
    are held in 12 member countries every year.
    Costa Rica's inaugural Cup of Excellence Coffee Competition was held in 2007 and has been held 14 times so far (no competition was held in 2010), and the top three coffees will be awarded the "Premio presidencial"
    .
     
    This year, due to the reduction in coffee production, the "Cup of Excellence" coffee competition received only 78 coffee samples
    .
    In the end, the "Don Cayito" estate from Dota, San José, San José, won first place
    for the third consecutive year.
    "When they called me, I couldn't believe it
    .
    " Said ricardo Calderón, owner of the estate
    .
     
    After the competition, the "Cup of Excellence" coffee competition also held an online coffee auction
    .
    The auction lasted a record 9 hours
    .
    In the end, coffee at the "Donkaeto" estate fetched its highest price at $140 per pound, double
    last year's highest price.
     
    Noelia Villalobos, executive director of the Costa Rican Specialty Coffee Association (SCA-CR), believes that Costa Rican coffee has a good brand positioning and has higher added value
    of products.
    "Guatemalan coffee has the same varieties as us and is processed the same as ours, but because our coffee has a higher added value, the final price is higher than in Guatemala
    .
    Costa Rican coffee can not compete with Brazil and Vietnam in terms of production, and can only rely on quality to win
