Each year, the Specialty Coffee Association’s Best New Product Competition recognizes new products that represent quality and add value to the specialty coffee and tea industry. Awards were presented at The 27th Annual SCAA Exposition on April 11, 2015, in Seattle, WA. In addition to the Best New Product Competition, which is judged onsite at The Event by a panel of SCAA members, attendees were encouraged to cast their votes for the Best New Product People’s Choice Award via the official event app. Hundreds of votes were received for People’s Choice and the winners of this Award for each category are listed below.
