Had a great time last night at the July TNT. Raised some money for the Asheville Parks and Greenways Foundation.
Scott from the Dripolator Asheville took home first place
In second was Jared of Waking Life Espresso
Third went to Jacob, also of Waking Life Espresso.
As most Asheville residents know, the Belle Chere runs the weekend of July 23-25. Due to the influx of hundreds of tourists, roadblocks, and general street festival induced insanity, Counter Culture will not be holding a public cupping that Friday. Enjoy the festival!
Asheville, NC TNT at the Dripolator, during their one year anniversary party on June 19 at 7 p.m.
Because Mary is attending the 2010 Southeast Regional Barista Competition in Atlanta this weekend, there will not be a cupping in our Asheville Training Center Friday, February 19. Regular coffee cuppings will resume next week. Thanks!
And, btw, the South East Regional Barista Competition will be streamed live at usbaristachampionship.org starting Friday at 11 a.m.
The 2010 Southeast Regional Barista Competition will be held February 19-21, in Atlanta. The 2010 SERBC will be hosted once again by Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters and Everything Coffee & Tea, Inc!
Our Atlanta Regional Training Center is in the King Plow Arts Center, the same building as the main event, and we welcome attendees and competitors and coffee fans to stop by to practice or hang out and talk coffee.
