The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) has announced that the 2027 World Cup Tasters Championship (WCTC) will be held in Bogotá, Colombia. The event is scheduled for September 30 to October 2, 2027, and will take place during the World of Coffee Bogotá trade show, alongside the previously announced 2027 World Brewers Cup.
This dual-championship event is presented in partnership with the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC). According to the SCA, hosting two of its premier competitions in a major coffee-producing country is intended to highlight Colombia's contribution to the global coffee sector and strengthen the connection between the international coffee community and coffee origins.
The World Cup Tasters Championship evaluates the sensory skills of coffee professionals, who must quickly and accurately identify the odd cup in a series of triangulations. The World Brewers Cup focuses on the craft of manual filter coffee brewing. The events will bring national champions from around the globe to Bogotá, placing a significant focus on sensory evaluation and coffee preparation at the trade show.
