The first-ever barista competition in Korea, the 'Korean Barista Championship (KBC),' marks its 20th anniversary this year, embracing the slogan 'Back to the Original,' with a renewed focus on the role of the barista. Three types of blended coffee beans will be provided as the official options, and participants will randomly select their beans on-site. The signature drink performance will only take place in the semifinals and finals, where competitors are free to choose from the three provided blends.
