Auckland Hosting Two Free Coffee Events
The Ultimate Weekend for Coffee Lovers - Auckland Hosting Two Free Coffee Events
Aucklanders can enjoy a
weekend dedicated to the country’s finest coffee when the
city hosts the New Zealand Cup Tasters Championship
and the Meadow Fresh New Zealand Latte Art
Championship in the last weekend of July.
This coffee immersion isn’t only for the country’s top baristas, any caffeine lover who knows their beans can test themselves at the New Zealand Cup Tasters Championship. While the exacting practice necessary to compete in the Meadow Fresh New Zealand Latte Art Championshipmeans it's usually the reserve of full-time coffee nerds.
Either way, both events are
free for spectators making them great opportunities for
coffee lovers to join in, enjoy coffee tastings and follow
the competition.
New Zealand Cup Tasters Championship
Do you think you have a good palate? Can you taste? You could win this Championship!Tasters are challenged to use their senses to spot the odd cup out of three, when two are the same. There are eight rounds and the tasters who have the most correct answers and the quickest times will go through to the next round each time, until there are just four tasters left for the final. The winner will represent New Zealand at the International Cup Tasters in Dubai in September. Come and compete and join us to see New Zealand’s most tuned palates.
