Calling all participants for the 2012 Canadian Regional Barista Championships
This year four regional competitions will take place starting with the Western Regional in Vancouver, Central Regional in Toronto, Prairie Regional in Calgary and Eastern Regional is Victoriaville. The events will feature each region's best baristas demonstrating the art of making the perfect espresso drinks and competing for the regional barista championship title. The top three finalists in each regional will qualify for the Canadian National Barista Championship held at The Canadian Coffee & Tea Show in Toronto on September 9 & 10, 2012 at the International Centre, Toronto, Ontario.
During both the National and Regional competitions, each competitor will be expected to prepare and serve 12 separate espresso beverages: 4 espresso, 4 cappuccinos, and 4 "signature" drinks of their own creation. Competitors have only 15 minutes to prepare all 12 drinks and are judged on various elements including station cleanliness, taste, beverage presentation, technical skills and total impression by a distinguished panel of local judges from the foodservice industry.
The eventual winner of the Canadian National Championship will represent Canada at the 2013 World Barista Championship. All the competitors will receive great prizes for participating as well as valuable experience.
The events are open to the public.
