insects and Coffee

So… I’ve been thinking about competing for years now, and I am now putting my name in the hat; or rather Throwing my Hat in the ring.

The one thing that has kept me from competing up to this point has been the Signature Drink. Yes the Signature Drink… I have always thought that it ought to be something that a barista could make at the Cafe with out missing a step or slowing down the line. Yet creating a drink that is new(creative) and tasty and simple and elegant, without covering the delicate flavors of espresso is not the easiest to do. My hats off to all the Barista Competitors that have accomplished this.

So, I embark on the daunting task of creating such a beverage.

…and to the rigors of training to compete in front of my Baristi peers.
