UAE Barista Championship
Over the days of October 12th to the 14th in Dubai, UAE, the SCAA partnered with International Conferences and Exhibitions to host the annual Middle East Coffee and Tea Convention. The event is the only dedicated coffee and tea trade show in the Middle East and offers attendees a plethora of events, information sessions, and networking opportunities focused on nurturing the expansion of the Middle Eastern coffee and tea market.
The organizers are proud to say that this year’s Convention was a big success . SCAA Executive Director, Ric Rhinehart said that “this year the SCAA classes were the highlight of the show, with fully subscribed classes in Latte Art, Cupping, Roasting, Customer Service and more.” A recent post on the Five Senses Coffee Blog describes the “great sense of camaraderie and urge to learn and develop further.” It’s clear that the developing coffee industry in the Middle East is making great strides and encouraging the growth and training of its baristas and other professionals.
With that said, we’d like to congratulate the winner of the 2010 National UAE Barista Championship, Raja Muthusamy

. Raja impressed the judges with a single origin Mexican coffee which he had roasted himself and a signature drink combined which combined the Mexican coffee with a Colombian single origin syphon, almond milk, jaggery (palm sugar) and cocoa. If Raja’s success is any indication, we see great things on the horizon for other Middle Eastern baristas.
