The contest attracted the participation of 33 baristas from nine localities across Vietnam. The awarding ceremony is expected to take place on March 13 afternoon.
Trinh Duc Minh, head of the Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Association – the organiser of the contest, said that the contest aims to discover and honour outstanding talents in coffee making, and offers a venue for them to meet and share experience.
It is also an opportunity to introduce, promote and develop Vietnam's specialty coffee industry and its coffee culture, contributing to increasing domestic consumption and the value of the industry, he added.
