Buencafé products receive Superior Taste Award

We are proud to inform our customers that two of our freeze-dried
instant coffee products, Gurmetti Scandinavian and Roasted Instant Gurmetti
Viennese, have been Awarded the Superior Taste Award with two Golden
Stars by the International Taste & Quality Institute (iTQi) for their outstand-
ing taste and quality. After being assessed for First Impression, Vision, Smell,
Taste, and Final Sensation.

The iTQi is a Brussels-based world leading organization dedicated to
tasting and promoting superior quality food products that works in associa-
tion with fifteen of the most prestigious culinary institutions in Europe, such
as Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, the Academy of Culinary Arts of the United
Kingdom, the Académie Culinaire de France, among others. Products are
tested on a blind basis (without any packaging or identification) by a large
panel of judges, including chefs and sommeliers, of different nationalities.

Every year, the iTQi awards the Superior Test Award to food and
drink products available on a retail basis that excel in quality and taste, differ-
entiating them from the other products in the market as top-quality products
that will meet and exceed the expectations of the consumers. This makes the
award a unique international recognition of the hard work of the producers
of food and drink products.

This award is the result of a team committed to the production of
quality products and the generation of value for Colombian coffee. Buencafé
has produced the best Product more than 40 years, and works as part as the
National Federation of Coffee-Growers of Colombia (Federación Nacional de
Cafeteros) to deliver products according to the latest trends and market condi-
tions, generating value for over 500.000 coffee-growing families in Colombia.
The Superior Taste Award encourages Buencafé to continue improving our
products and deliver top-quality coffee to our clients. Buencafé has a compre-
hensive portfolio that offers our clients consistency in quality, reliability and
innovation.
