NEW ZEALAND
For the second time, New Zealanders are attending an event called “Caffeination.” The New Zealand Specialty Coffee Association, specifically the New Zealand Barista Guild, will be there to host classes on sensory evaluation and soft brewing.
The World Barista Champion Hidenori Izaki is expected to attend. Attendees have multiple opportunities to watch “A Film About Coffee” and mingle with coffee industry leaders.
In the words of its organizers: “Caffeination promises to educate, inform, network and showcase the very best of coffee and related products. It’s the Festival that will stir up coffee lovers all over the country, luring them with the aromas of freshly roasted coffee and the promise of new tastes and experiences.”
