The Coffee and Tea Festival is proud to host the 2012 United States Barista Championship (USBC), Northeast Competition. The regional competition will be held in conjunction with the 7th annual Coffee And Tea Festival NYC. The championship is sponsored in part by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) and the Barista Guild of America.

The United States Barista Championship is a regional and national competition designed to highlight the craft of the barista and espresso-based beverage production. The annual competition cycle consists of 6 regional events that lead up to the U.S. Barista Championship. The winner of each competition will have proven their professionalism, passion and skill through various criteria as outlined in the USBC Rules and Regulations.

In a 15 minute presentation, competitors will prepare and serve three courses of espresso based beverages to a panel of four sensory judges. Two technical judges will score competitors on procedures, consistency, cleanliness and other technical details. The top six from each regional event will be granted entry into the 2012 USBC.

The National USBC Competition will take place in conjunction with the 24th annual SCAA Exposition and Symposium in Portland, Oregon April 19 – 22, 2012. For information about competing, visit www.USBaristaChampionship.org.
