HPQ Evaluate

is an independent and professional coffee evaluation service by Heavenly Pour, dedicated to providing transparent, credible, and standardized assessments of coffee quality. Each evaluation is conducted by a minimum of three active Q Graders certified by the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), in accordance with internationally recognized protocols.

HPQ Evaluate adheres strictly to CQI and SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) cupping protocols. In addition to sensory evaluation, each coffee sample is roasted according to professional roasting standards and overseen by SCA Certified Roasters, ensuring optimal roast development for accurate assessment.
