Baristas Showcase Their Talent In Local Creative Competition

July 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Beyu Café in Durham, NC has announced they are hosting their first Latte Art Throwdown, a competition for local coffee shop employees. The Throwdown will be held Wednesday, August 11th at 7:00 pm and is open to the public.

This Throwdown event co-sponsored by Stockton Graham & Co., a wholesale specialty coffee roaster and beverage supply company also headquartered in Raleigh, allows area café professionals to compete head-to-head to see who can create the best designs and patterns on the surface of a latte by pouring steamed milk into espresso. The patterns, typically intricate hearts and flower-like swirls called rosettas, are then judged and the winners are awarded prizes.

The competition fee is $5.00 and registration begins at 6:00 pm the day of the event. Recreational latte artists and experts are encouraged to sign-up.

Beyu Cafe is located at 335 West Main Street in Durham.
