Product Evaluation Sequence

Regardless of each category, please fill in the 2022 World Latitude Caffe Prize Registration Form in advance for all participating coffee products. If you have relevant information that can be submitted, please send it info@wl-c.org.

The World Latitude Caffe Prize will announce the annual Awardees on the official website of the World Latitude Caffe Prize in early April each year, and also send the coffee quality medal certificates all at once.

Fill In Online Registration Form

The GSA judges brew and blindly test the coffee product based on their daily habits to simulate and ensure the most direct quality and experiences when actual consumers use the product.

In order to achieve environmental friendliness, innovation, and practicality, participants in the coffee product category of the World Latitude Caffe Prize must first fill in the 2024 World Latitude Caffe Prize Registration Form, which will be used by the GSA committee for the selection of the results.

All participating coffees will be evaluated and scored by two GSA judges at the same time.

The GSA committee members will clean their mouths before tasting and scoring the coffees. In order to ensure fairness that the next entry won’t be affected, the GSA committee will not be allowed to drink the coffees.

The contested coffee with a total score difference of more than 10% between the two GSA judges will be judged by the third committee member.

Participants must abide by the World Latitude Caffe Prize regulations and selection results. If the participants are not satisfied with the selection scores, please refrain from radical, unreasonable protests and appeals. The organizer, the World Latitude Caffe Prize, reserves the right to make final changes and interpretations of the results.
