UAC Cup Taster 2026: Accuracy, Speed and Our Top Three

Our UAC Cup Taster 2026 results celebrated Nataporn Charoenpipatpimpa as Champion, จิรายุทธ อุ่นคำ as Runner-Up and วาสนา เฮงรักษา in third place. Their performances gave us a way to discuss both sensory accuracy and decision-making under pressure.

Across the preliminary round, round of 18 and final, the published totals were 21 correct answers from 22 for the Champion, 22 from 22 for the Runner-Up and 20 from 22 for third place. The Champion and Runner-Up both identified all eight cups correctly in the final; completion time separated their final placings.

The missed sets highlighted two demanding comparisons: extraction and blend ratio. Reviewing those differences after the competition made the results useful beyond the podium, giving competitors another opportunity to understand what they had tasted.
