If I were the judge of this competition I'd be rating Capella the lowest out of all the companies.
Why? A concentrate isn't to be used at 15-20% like majority of there flavours need to be used at to achieve a nice result.
They're also the most expensive out of all the flavour companies.
As a result of this, Users need to spend more and use more in order use there products.

I really think this needs to be factored in when recommending Capella. Lets take for example Watermellon;
Flavourart Watermellon 3% - 10%
TPA Watermellon - 3%-5%
Capella 10% - 15%

Obviously they're all going to taste similar but not the same. Despite the fact Capellas MIGHT taste better, I would be ranking it the lowest as Price Point and Amount needed to use is the highest. TPA on the other hand has a better tasting watermellon than FA and you get to use less.
I'd rate this Number 1 out of watermellon.

I havent tried Lorann or CCW etc so I cant judge on those.

One more thing to factor in is, taste is subjective and hype shouldnt get in the way of rating a product fairly.
