Contestant Kuerbanjiang Rexat is making coffee.

More than 30 baristas from various states in Xinjiang made coffee on the spot, and the strong aroma of coffee scattered in the No. 2017 Hospital of Changsha Road, the "Xinjiang first coffee cup brewing and flower-drawing competition" was held in Urumqi.

In the competition, the contestants face each other in pairs. The contestants have 5 minutes of preparation time and 5 minutes of cooking time to boil water, weigh and grind coffee beans on the open-air workbench. Every move attracts the attention of the audience. Then, the judges came to the stage and judged the coffee according to its taste, acidity, alcohol thickness and so on.

Korbanjiang Rexat, a 29-year-old contestant from Kashgar, fell in love with the delicacy and creativity of coffee when he first came into contact with coffee when he went to school in Urumqi in 2010. Standing on the stage, he looked focused and pursued the perfection of details, but he was a little nervous and accidentally dropped a cup. But when he finally heard that he beat the contestants in the same group, he was as happy as a child.

"this is the first time for me to participate in such a large-scale competition, mainly to come to exchange and learn, but also to exercise the competition experience." Kuerban Jiang Rexat said.

Sun Haijuan, one of the judges of the competition and the founder of the coffee workshop "Coffee Man", said that coffee not only accompanies people's lives as a drink, but also symbolizes a taste of life. Hope to take advantage of this platform, so that coffee lovers and coffee shop owners in Xinjiang can organize, join forces to promote the market, and better promote boutique coffee.

It is reported that the competition has a total of three days, and the preliminary and semi-finals of the coffee brewing competition were held on August 24. Seven contestants are eligible to participate in today's finals, and the top three will receive huge bonuses. A coffee pull competition will be held on the 26th, and there will be free teaching sessions for the judges. At that time, Wei Lingpeng, international judge of the World barista Competition, and Wu Lingbo, China champion of the 2014 World Coffee Cup Test Competition, will bring a wonderful display.
