The competition attracted 21 excellent baristas from all over the country to compete on the same stage, including 6 Xizang players. This cross regional talent exchange not only effectively improved the overall competitive level of the venue, but also provided valuable learning and exchange opportunities for Xizang coffee practitioners.
In order to ensure the authority of the event, the organizer specially invited 10 domestic and international evaluation experts, and finally selected 4 top players to advance to the national finals, to launch an attack on higher honors on behalf of the Xizang competition area.
In recent years, the coffee boom has flourished on the snow covered plateau. From the research and development of characteristic drinks such as milk coffee and salty milk tea lattes to the initial exploration of local coffee bean cultivation, Xizang's coffee industry is showing strong vitality. The World Coffee Brewing Competition was settled in Lhasa, aiming at promoting production and cultivating talents through competition. Through the introduction of a national and even world-class professional competition system, it aims to train more high-quality coffee professionals for Xizang and further improve the local coffee industry chain.
