A total of 12 local baristas representing well-known cafes in Brunei flew off to Manila, the Philippines to compete in the ASEAN Barista Team Championships, marking the first participation from local baristas outside of the Sultanate.
The objective of joining the competition is to give baristas in Brunei’s coffee scene a new perspective of what coffee in the region offers, apart from looking into the transactional aspects of the business, said Firdaus Omar, leading the delegation.
“We aim to find ways in improving our quality, service experience, and gain connections with baristas around the region,” added Firdaus.
