ESTA was present at Horecava, the leading annual Dutch trade fair for the foodservice and hospitality industry, hosting the Dutch Tea Tasting Championships and the Dutch Matcha Latte Art Championships.
The Tea Tasting Championships was all about detecting the subtlest differences in tea, and a great mix of serious focus, fun and lots of energy.
Congratulations to the winners: Simone Bianchi claimed the win, Aissam finished second, and Alex Haak took home trophy number three.
The Matcha Latte Art Championships isn’t just about how beautiful the latte looks, the quality of the drink itself plays an essential role. That balance makes it fairer and brings it closer to a real café experience, where taste and presentation go hand in hand.
Jesse Fook took home first place - well done to him and to all who participated!
Huge thanks to our sponsors Brita Nederland, Hario Europe, Mount Everest Tea (Tea Tasting), Alpro (Matcha latte competition) and Kaori Taste of Japan (Matcha latte competition)
And everyone who took part
