About the the Huhtamaki NZ Barista Championship
We are searching for the best barista in New Zealand to represent us each year at the World Barista Championship.
The World Barista Championship organization (WBC) licensed the New Zealand Specialty Coffee Association to run the New Zealand Barista Championship from 2008 and into the future.
In 2013 the Championship is in Wellington and it’s one event – national heats, semi and final!
The NZSCA is committed to running the event in close accordance with WBC standards. Our focus is on producing a field of finalists capable of competing successfully at an international level, and of course a winner who can excel at the world finals.
The Champion will travel to Melbourne in May 2013 to represent New Zealand at the WBC International event. Kiwis have historically done well at the WBC.
Venue: Renouf Foyer at the Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington
Dates:
Thursday 7 March: 10am-3:30pm – national heats
Friday 8 March: 10am-3pm – national heats continue
Saturday 9 March: 8am – 5pm – semi-final & final
