Nine world-class Baristas representing various hotels and coffee
house chains spread far and wide took part in the National Barista
Championship which was held recently.
Lavazza Coffee was the official 'Coffee Solutions Provider' for Hotel
Show Colombo 2016 and the main sponsor for the National Barista
Championship 2016. The company provided their signature coffee machines
and coffee beans for the contestants and also got down an expert panel
of judges who are maestros of their trade to judge the competition.
Lavazza Coffee also brought in the expertise on how to conduct a
competition in lines with the World Barista Championship Standards. The
panel of judges was headed by Vikram Khurana, CEO at Kappi Machines (Pvt)
Ltd, India.
The technical aspect of the competition was judged by Jerome Romesh
and Tuan Boran, from last year's judging panel.
The National Barista Championship is the coffeemakers' equivalent of
a world cup. Sri Lanka's version of it was a demanding and well
contested event. Participants were tested on how good their coffee is
and how fast they make it.
This year the Sri Lankan National Barista Championship got a facelift
with a fresh logo with an international appeal designed by Lien
Keerthisinghe, Marketing Manager at Lavazza Coffee. |
