Project Origin’s Yanina Ferreyra has taken out 1st place in the 2019 Australian Brewers Cup Championships.

The results were announced this afternoon at the Melbourne International Coffee Expo (MICE), in front of a crowd of hundreds of coffee professionals and enthusiasts.

For her performance Yanina used a coffee from Finca Deborah in Panama, the Jasper ‘Evolution’ geisha. In her presentation, Yanina spoke about her experience as a green bean buyer and how experimentation in processing can be a risky, yet successful venture for producers.

Devin Loong of ONA Coffee claimed second place in the Brewers Cup, also using Project origin sourced coffee.

Devin used a geisha coffee from Finca Deborah, the ‘Amber’ Vivid. Grown and produced by Jamison Savage on Finca Deborah in Boquete, this coffee was presented by Devin using his own pouring technique – the ‘Loong Pour 2.0’.

Also using Project origin coffee was Isaac Kim, who claimed fourth place. Isaac used the ‘Indigo’ lot from Project Origin’s CM Selections series, with his presentation focusing on highlighting the carbonic maceration techniques used to process this coffee.

The entire Project Origin team is exceptionally proud to have sourced coffee for all of these competitors, and those in the Barista Championship. Congratulations Yanina – let’s go to Boston!
