In 2003, Shanghai Sinoexpo Informa Markets International Exhibition Co., Ltd., authorized by World Coffee Events (WCE), introduced the World Barista Championship (WBC), often hailed as the “Coffee Olympics,” to China. Over the past two decades, this prestigious competition has become a cornerstone of the Chinese coffee scene. Competitors are required to prepare 4 espressos, 4 milk coffees, and 4 signature drinks within a strict 15-minute timeframe, adhering to rigorous standards. As the only professional, systematically organized, and internationally certified coffee-making competition in China, the WBC tests the comprehensive skills and expertise of baristas. It stands as a dream platform for countless coffee professionals, showcasing their artistry and dedication to the craft.
