EXPLANATORY NOTE: Cup of Excellence Early Harvest –
2012 Edition
The Brazil Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA) hereby announces the
occurrence of a misunderstanding by the Instituto de Pesquisas e Estudos Contábeis e
Tributários (IPECONT) in the publication of the results of the 1st phase of the Coffees of
Brazil Quality Contest – 13th Cup of Excellence Early Harvest.
In order to correct any distortions created by the occurrence, to avoid any competitors
being damaged and in respect to the producers who trust in the selection process of the
Cup of Excellence, already well established over the 13 years term of the Contest, the
Alliance of Coffee Excellence – ACE and the BSCA agreed to remediate this unusual and
unfortunate situation caused by the auditing mistake with the following measures:
1 – reduced the cutoff score from 85 to 84 points – the minimum limit adopted for the
contests carried out until last year;
2 – classified all the samples that had scores above 84 points for the national phase,
including the coffees that, erroneously, had been left off the list released last Saturday,
October 13;
3 – to be fair to those announced last Saturday and who have already processed and
moved their coffees to warehouses under contract with the contest, kept all the lots
announced with one exception to this rule. Only the coffees that, despite being
mistakenly announced as qualified, contain phenol in their composition (rioy cup), which
technically disqualifies the samples, will not be allowed to proceed to the national phase.
BSCA and ACE also inform that the contest auditing institution, IPECONT, has been
dismissed and that from now on the contest will be audited by the Centro de Comércio de
Café de Minas Gerais.
By means of this clarification, BSCA and ACE hope to maintain the transparency that
has marked the history of the Cup of Excellence in Brazil and make themselves available
for further clarifications.
BSCA and ACE wish much luck to all the producers who will proceed to the next phase
of the contest.
The letter sent by IPECONT acknowledging the mistake is below.
Varginha - MG, October 16 2012.
CLARIFICATION NOTE
REGARDING: THE PUBLICATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE 1st PHASE OF
THE 13th CUP OF EXCELLENCE EARLY HARVEST / 2012.
IPECONT AUDITORIA C.T. S/S LTDA., responsible for auditing the 13th
QUALITY CONTEST – COFFEES OF BRAZIL – CUP OF EXCELLENCE –
EARLY HARVEST, Fábio Luiz de Carvalho being the technician responsible,
hereby clarifies the following:
1 – In the results released on 13/10/2012, there is a mistake in the
publication of the classification.
2 – The publication mistake is due, solely and exclusively, to a flaw in the
manipulation of the decoding process of the samples, the responsibility of this
auditing institution.
3 – The auditing institution clarifies that it had complete control of the
encodings and that the flaw occurred solely in the decoding of the samples, and
this only resulted in failure in the announcement, this being our complete
responsibility.
The entire sample selection process followed the correct procedures in
accordance with the regulations of the contest organization of the 13th CUP OF
EXCELLENCE.
We are available for any further clarifications.
