The auction was held on June 30, 2022.

This year, Taiwan Private Collection Auction is bigger and better. On behalf of the Council of Agriculture and the Agriculture and Food Agency, Taiwan Coffee Laboratory has begun working with Alliance for Coffee Excellence to create a series of three Private Collection Auctions in three consecutive years. 2022 is the first in the series and will place a heavy emphasis on the Taiwanese producers’ ability to improve and adapt. Those producers who submitted samples for last year’s PCA have worked tirelessly since the date of the auction to improve the qualities of their coffees, vowing to wow the world once again with the literal fruits of their labor. The producers who did not participate last year are eager to present their coffees to the world, feeling confident that their carefully cultivated and processed lots will prove the equals to last year’s winning lots. With so many local coffee farms throwing in the hat, significant increases in both quality and quantity are all but a certainty.

These coffees are scored and evaluated by our Global Coffee Centers (GCC). You can learn more about GCCs here.

By pinpointing exceptional producers with the Private Collection program, ACE will curate auctions with organizations and farmers who best exemplify ACE’s standards with its Cup of Excellence programming and hopes to expand its reach with these curated auctions.
