The winner of the 2017WBC World Barista Competition has been announced! British player Dale Harris wins the championship!

For friends who have just been involved in coffee, WBC looks like a great competition, but they don't know what it is. Let Alice give you a brief introduction today.

WBC, whose full name is World Barista Championship, is translated into Chinese for the World Coffee Competition, organized by WCE (World Coffee Events, the World Coffee Competition), a joint sub-association of SCAA (American Coffee Association) and SCAE (European Coffee Association). WCE regularly holds worldwide coffee competitions such as WBC, WBrC (coffee brewing competition), WCR (coffee roasting competition) and WCTC (cup test competition) every year. WBC focuses on the popularity of global Italian coffee, and the players are also from all over the world, which makes WBC the most eye-catching competition.

In the WBC competition, contestants must bring their own roasted coffee beans, as well as some utensils (scales, cups, etc.), use the Italian machine and bean grinder provided on the spot, and make Italian coffee while explaining to the judges. The more the coffee is in line with the flavor described by the barista and the more fluent the barista performs at the bar, the higher the score may be.

Every year, Taiwan will hold trials in China, and then send representatives to participate in various WCE competitions. In recent years, many contestants in Taiwan have made eye-catching performance in international coffee competitions. Alice only lists some of them for your reference:

* Liu Bangyu won the cup test championship in 2013

* Lai Yuquan won the baking contest in 2014

* Wu Zelin won the barista championship in 2016

To see Taiwan enter the international coffee stage and write down the moment of history, Alice is really indescribably excited! It is believed that more outstanding coffee people will appear in the major coffee competitions. Let's continue to look forward to it.

This is a brief introduction to WBC today. Thank you for watching--
