We recently hosted the inaugural Eighty Plus Rising Star Barista Championship at Good Coffee Festival, where 16 first-time competitors and emerging baristas took the challenge of presenting their coffee and concept on stage according to World Barista Championship rules and regulations.
It was amazing to see their passion and efforts come to life on stage, and we’re proud to present the Champion’s Blend for you to try at home.
Lok Hi Ming | Rising Star Barista Champion
Composition:
60% Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Doora Washed
40% Ethiopia Guji Ardent Natural
Ming: "My presentation concept highlight the beauty of “once in a lifetime” encounter that are fleeting, so i choose to make a coffee blend where the washed Yigarcheffe can present a explosive aroma and vibrant acidity to impress my consumer with the first sip like a unique encounter, and balancing it with sweetness, body, and aftertaste from Natural Guji that reminisce the fading of the moment.
Expect a floral aroma, stone fruit sweetness and tea-like delicate finish from this composition."
