Platinum CBD Cup

Since 2023 · Two juries · Blind

The competition

The Platinum CBD Cup is a European CBD competition, held every year since 2023. Every product is scored blind by two juries: it is judged on what it is, not on its name.

Two juries,
two sets of winners

Samples are anonymised, with a different code for each jury. Nobody sees the brand, the origin or the price.

Pro

The experts' ranking

Growers, sommeliers, analysts: each juror scores the look (trim, trichomes, cleanliness), the smell (intensity, quality, originality) and the taste (quality, faithfulness to the smell, persistence). The result is a ranking and a podium for each category.

Same product, two codes: no juror can link it from one jury to the other.

Public

The labels and the Public Choice Award

Consumers score at home, from a box of samples, on a simplified grid: the look, then the intensity and originality of the smell and taste. Their scores award the Public Choice Award and the labels.

Anonymous samples

Before it is tasted, every sample is anonymised: jurors only see a code, never the brand. The code is different for each jury, so a product cannot be recognised from one jury to the other.

The score thresholds for the Gold, Silver and Bronze labels are set for each edition. The full details are in the competition rules.
