I'd enter but I don't think that green beans roasted in a fry pan over a camp fire and cooled with sea water would quite cut it - yep, still camping in National Park at South West Rocks: no electricity, no running water - and loving it!

Don't be so tough on yourself........based on coffees I've suffered through in some countries, your entry could possibly beat many nations !

I am not going
The event is to limited with time constraints
That is -
1] in a 3 day period you evaluate and choose the beans from a choice of 3
2] then roast your chosen bean
3] then evaluate by cupping

The coffee that is roasted is cupped without much degas time
