The 3D Festive Chino Challenge!
Introducing a fun online competition dedicated to those who love Christmas cheer! Simply make your version of the ultimate 3D Festive Chino and tag us @nzspeccoffee with the hashtag #3Dfestivechino to be in to WIN!
What is a Chino? Well, it is a rarely sighted previously unclassified drink, often seen on social media under the incorrect banner of Latte Art (featuring many, many cats). It may or may not include coffee, tea, chocolate or other beverage. What it does include is fluffy milk. This rare breed of fluffy milk was common in the ’80s and ’90s. In 2020, just like your cell phones, it has evolved to the next level! Sprinkles, syrups, food colourings are a must to highlight its Chino qualities.
👉 Your entry must include a description of the Chino, what type of milk used and the machine/device used to make it. An extra photo may or may not include someone consuming the festive Chino proving that it is edible/drinkable and tasty!?!
👉 A brief description of how it tasted the inspiration behind it, and what decorations/adornments used may, or may not gain points!
👉 3D Chino’s can be made on anything from a plunger to a home or commercial machine. (top tip for 3D foam: cool the foam in a fridge prior to your build) OR snap a pic of your favourite chino place. We want to hear about the cafe’s that make the best Christmas cheer Chino!
👉 Judged by four milk professionals including a famous (in New Zealand) food stylist/chef!
👉 Winner/s gets a coffee-related goodie pack from Coffee Gear Online, details of prizes to be found on our main website www.nzsca.org You also get bragging rights as the winner to the world’s first (to our knowledge) 3D Festive Challenge!
