CORNERING THEMARKET
The 2018 Coffee and Chocolate
Festival opened its gates at
Montecasino in South Africa to
an enthusiastic and hungry crowd
of coffee and chocolate lovers.
An estimated 40,000 visitors
looked to enjoy themselves and all
tastings, treats and entertainment
being offered.
Blue Diamond
participated in the
festival and successfully exhibited
Almond Breeze
and snack nuts. The
festival also hosted an epic, exciting
and fun-filled first leg of the
Almond
Breeze
Breezey Masters Challenge.
The Coffee and Chocolate Festival
was also used as the perfect
opportunity to introduce three new
flavors being launched in the country —
Sweetened Vanilla, Unsweetened
Vanilla and Sweetened Chocolate.
The new flavors are being added to
the existing line of
Almond Breeze
in
the market that includes Unsweetened,
Original and Barista Blend.
The first leg of the Breezey Masters set a high standard for the Durban
and Cape Town regions to follow and match. 16 of the top baristas from
Johannesburg competed head-to-head to create the best heart, tulip, rosetta and
free pour designs in just six minutes. The competition was steep and in the final
knock-out round, a very excited Kyria Sasa from Starbucks took the title.
The Breezey Masters Challenge was a huge success and had the baristas all
vying and eagerly fighting for a place in the grand finale in Melbourne later
this year.
