At the end of 2025, the SCASA Board of Directors and volunteers hosted the Latte Art and Cup Tasters Regionals around the country, as the first World Championship is in April. The number of finalists that go through to Nationals is determined by the number of entries in each region. We are excited for the next round. Congratulations to all the competitors and good luck to the Finalists.
Thank you to all the judges, volunteers, sponsors and hosts that made these competitions possible.
