The Sultanate of Oman is about to get its first coffee challenge with the Oman Barista Competition in September.
This feature will be launched as part of the Food & Hospitality Oman exhibition, and will pit Oman's baristas against each other for three categories, reflecting the increasing demand and consumption of the beverage in the Sultanate.
The hopefuls are required to prepare two types of standard coffee beverages, along with preparing and presenting a signature recipe of their choice to a jury of local and international coffee experts.
