Hello and thank you for choosing to attend this amazing one-of-a-kind event!
This document will help you anticipate how the night’s proceedings will unfold and how to prepare in order to make the most out of your night.
We highly suggest that you gather 14g of your favorite flower obtained from a provincially licensed store for a chance to win the ultimate award of the night: Best Cannabis Collector. It is not a requirement to bring a flower submission but it is highly encouraged as this will make the evening more fun for everyone.
There are other benefits to bringing your flower like free rosin pressings and the opportunity to taste and share with other attendees after the main tasting.
This event will have a covered outdoor patio where you can smoke and dab, so make sure to come prepared with your weed kit!
REMEMBER
THE FIRST RULE ABOUT COLLECTOR’S CUP IS:
YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR CULTIVAR
The purpose of Collector’s Cup is to judge cannabis flower without the bias of cultivar name, grower, breeder or biochemical content. This information will become available to you after the tasting. Please respect this rule as it is critical for the integrity of the competitions.
Aim to arrive at TacoTaco (319 Augusta, Kensington Market, Toronto) around 1:00PM and definitely before 2:00 PM.
You will be checked-in by CannaReps staff where you will receive your wristband for re-entry and a name tag. Be sure to give yourself ample arrival time. Cultivars will not be registered after 2:30pm.

The purpose of Collector’s Cup is to judge cannabis flower without the bias of cultivar name, grower, breeder or biochemical content. This information will become available to you after the tasting. Please respect this rule as it is critical for the integrity of the competitions.
Head to the Collection Table to register your entry. CannaReps staff and volunteers will record the retailer name, cultivar name, and LP information as found on the packaging. You will then place your cultivar into a numbered jar provided by CannaReps. This keeps all the flowers anonymous for unbiased judging.
Cannabis judging starts at 3:00PM so you must register your 14g of flower by 2:30PM at the very latest.
The Collector’s Cup is designed for guests to share their flowers compliantly while conducting blind tastings where each attendee can taste the flowers brought by others.
Ushers will be assigned to each table to provide guidance on using the Cannabis Sommelier Quality Grading Tool, which can be found on our website.
Doors open (please arrive early to check in with your ID over age 19).

This table will have 6 jars with 6 cards, each facing down. Participants practice smelling each jar and taking a guess before revealing which terpene it is by turning over the card.
A Terpene Table usher will be assigned to help manage the activity at this table by switching the position of the terpene jars every 30 minutes, allowing you to try several times throughout the night, giving you a chance to self-test and sharpen your sensory skills.
