United states CUP TASTERS Championship (USCTC)

Fast and fun, the U.S. Cup Tasters Qualifying Competition challenges competitors to test their sensory skills by discerning taste differences in a “triangulation.” Tasters receive 6 sets of three cups where two cups are identical and one is different. Competitors are challenged to taste, smell, recall, and choose the unique cup in each triangulation. The Competitor will have 8 minutes to taste and identify the odd cups in 8 triangulations! The person with the most correct answers in the shortest amount of time wins!
