European Coffee, Tea & Soft Drinks Expo, the hospitality industry show devoted to the profitable service and sales of coffee, tea and soft beverages, will host the SCA UK 2020 UK Latte Art Championship at Olympia in May.
The championship is dedicated to showcasing pouring perfection. Each competitor demonstrates their latte art skills in pouring matching pairs of drinks, with the most complex and visually appealing designs possible. The winner of the Championship will be announced at the show, and go on to compete in the 2020 World Championship in Warsaw.

This is obviously a very visual competition which is engaging for the whole coffee community.
