Key Points:

• Over 250 chefs and sommeliers participated in the International Taste Institute's Superior Taste Awards, blind-tasting coffees from various categories including whole-bean, ground, instant, capsules/pods, and decaf.
• Coffees are judged on five criteria: first impression, vision, olfaction, taste, and texture or final sensation, with products scoring above 70% receiving the Superior Taste Award and further ranked with one to three stars.
• Nineteen coffees earned the prestigious three-star rating, including two Lavazza brand coffees available in the U.S.: La Reserva de ¡Tierra! Colombia and Tales of Italy Canal Grande.
• Notable three-star winners include five whole-bean coffees from Italy, three from Spain, and others from countries such as South Korea, the UK, Germany, Turkey, Japan, and Taiwan; only one ground coffee and one instant coffee received three stars.
• The awards emphasize that one-star products are good quality (70-80%), two-star products are outstanding (80-90%), and three-star products are exceptional with scores above 90%.
