New Zealand Barista Championship Workshops

23 September 2009 in Barista Competitions, Blogroll, Coffee, General

While i think of it, i’d like to let anyone whos interested in entering the 2010 NZ Barista Championship about the Roadshows which will be happening very soon!

Let Carl Sara, four time NZ Barista Champion, and Emma Markland Webster, our first NZ Champion and World Barista Championship accredited judge, share their insights and tips with you.

The primary goal of the workshop is to clearly communicate expectations of the competitor. Some of the questions that will be answered are:

“What is a signature beverage and how do I develop one for competition?”

“How do I ensure the beverage has ‘a dominant taste of espresso’?”

There will also be time for specific difficulties that potential competitors struggle with.

This is a very unique opportunity. Carl and Emma, as well as many others have volunteered their time in order to encourage more great baristas to enter and compete.
