General<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) for Cuppers Course is a two-day professional update for coffee cuppers, during which they will learn and become familiarized with the SCA\u2019s new Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) as a tool to evaluate coffee\u2019s value. The course is full of hands-on activities to demonstrate the elements of CVA, including several cuppings, lectures, and periods of discussion.<\/p>\n

After completing the CVA for Cuppers Course, participants will be able to use and integrate the SCA Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) tools into their cupping practice. Throughout the course, participants will learn to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Identify and utilize the new CVA sensory references.<\/li>\n
  • Explain the function and background of key sensory assessment tools used in CVA \u2013 15-point intensity scales, CATA lists, and hedonic scales.<\/li>\n
  • Use the CVA Descriptive and Affective Forms to describe and evaluate coffee.<\/li>\n
  • Explain and use the new CVA system, including the descriptive, affective, and extrinsic evaluation tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    There are four tests in this course (written exam; identification of olfactory references; descriptive assessment, and affective assessment). Upon successful completion of all course tasks, you will receive a certificate of acknowledgement. This certificate attests you have learned CVA at an SCA-sanctioned event and can use it as a professional tool. The certificate does NOT attest you are a cupper, nor does it provide any qualification thereof.<\/p>\n
