Café Imports has made a serious commitment to the development of Barista education this year because education is our core value, and quite frankly we believe baristas are the future of our industry. We know the power that an origin trip can have for coffee professionals, and if we can even be a small part in helping someone connect the dots by experiencing coffee at origin, we know this program is a success.
