ESTA Competitions are Back
Following the successful launch of the ESTA competitions at Caffè Culture last year, ESTA is pleased to announce that the Matcha Latte Art and Tea Tasting competitions will be back this year when they will be even bigger and better.
Details of the competitions and how to enter will be released soon.
Reigning Tea Tasting Champion Diana Farr del Rio of Canton Tea said of her victory last year “It was an incredible, amazing, unbelievable experience. It was difficult and challenging and I was very lucky to have been able to practice a lot before the competition, that definitely helped. The good thing is that this competition really raises awareness of speciality tea.”
