最佳巴拿馬(BOP - Best of Panama)咖啡競標賽，2023年的標王(水洗藝妓組GW-01)突破往年，以天價每公斤10,005元美金結標(折算台幣約32萬)，換算一杯咖啡熟豆20克的競標成本就要將近8千元台幣！BOP競標賽是什麼？到底多迷人~
The Best of Panama (BOP) coffee auction, which just concluded at the end of August, saw a record-breaking winning bid for the Geisha Washed Lot GW-01. This year's winning bid reached an astonishing USD $10,005 per kilogram (equivalent to approximately NTD 320,000), making it nearly NTD 8,000 for a 20g portion of roasted coffee beans! What exactly is the BOP auction, and why is it so captivating?
BOP競賽(Best of Panama)最佳巴拿馬競標賽，是世界上最知名的咖啡產地競標賽，1996年創辦第一屆巴拿馬生豆競標賽至今，2023年8月30日剛舉辦完第27屆BOP。建立一個提升巴拿馬咖啡農作者的平台，提升精品咖啡的高品質，是巴拿馬精品咖啡協會建立宗旨。參與競賽的莊園主可提交不同品種、處理法的批次生豆，以參加不同組別的競賽，由大會統一包裝、二次編碼、烘焙後，由至少7位以上的國內評審及7位國際評審進行兩輪評分，最終達到分數要求的方能參加全球競標。這個競賽只有在巴拿馬這個國家單獨進行，巴拿馬也沒有加入COE競賽，可能巴拿馬是世界上最好的藝妓咖啡出產地，所以採用自己的競賽競標系統。
The Best of Panama (BOP) Auction is the world's most renowned coffee origin auction. It was first established in 1996 as the Panama Coffee Auction, and it just completed its 27th edition on August 30, 2023. The primary purpose of this auction is to create a platform that elevates the profiles of Panamanian coffee growers and enhances the quality of specialty coffee. Farms participating in the competition can submit batches of green coffee beans of different varieties and processing methods to compete in various categories. After packaging and secondary coding by the organizers, the coffee is roasted, evaluated through two rounds of judging, with at least seven national judges and seven international judges. Only the lots meeting the score requirements are eligible for the global auction. It's worth noting that this competition is unique to Panama and is not affiliated with the Cup of Excellence (COE) competition. Perhaps this is because Panama is renowned as one of the world's premier regions for Geisha coffee, and it has chosen to utilize its own auction system for showcasing its exceptional coffee offerings.
