The 26th National Coffee and Cocoa Convention in Lima saw the preliminary stages of the III National Latte Art Tournament and the IV National Coffee Filter Competition. These events aim to select finalists from various zones to compete in the grand final at Expocafé Perú 2024, offering professional growth opportunities and potential prizes. Winners from the preliminary rounds, including Christopher Lara and Juan Pablo Muñoz in the Coffee Filtering Competition, and Alexander Taylor in the Latte Art Tournament, will advance to the next round.
