A latte throwdown is one of specialty coffee culture's most fun events!
Baristas gather after-hours to hang out and compete against each other to make the prettiest lattes you've ever seen! Matcha latte throwdowns aren't as common as the coffee kind, so we had a BLAST teaming up with our hometown BFFS Dune Coffee in Santa Barbara, California. We had a great night of competition! The Mizuba Matcha was flowing and the pours were intense! Sneak a peek at prime barista culture!
Huge congratulations to our winners!

Ever wondered why hojicha appears as hōjicha, hojicha, and houjicha? The variation comes from different romanization methods of the Japanese word ほうじ茶. While all three spellings refer to the same delicious roasted green tea, hojicha is the most common in English-speaking markets.
