    The newest of all the competitions celebrates coffee that is produced in the tradition of Greece, Turkey and the Middle East. This colourful competition has created great interest at the world finals helped greatly by elaborate costumes, entertainment and, of course, great coffee. The UK has been represented in the past by Aysin, who came third in the world in 2009, for this event. As yet we do not have a national championship for this event but it’s something the UK Chapter of the SCAE hope to have for the coming year.
