>>>>>>> #TNTtelaviv <<<<<<<<<< A bit of background about this “Barista Jam/ TNT Throwdown/ Thursday Night Throwdown event below: The Barista Jam, also known as “Latte Art Competition” or “Thursday Night Throwdown (TNT)”, will bring together some of the best baristas in Israel, head-to-head, to test their latte art skills and see who shall be named the newest ‘Latte Art Queen/King of TLV’- crown included- with tons of other fabulous prizes for the winner. “A barista party. For baristas, celebrating baristas, by baristas. All that jazz. It’s a space for people to come together, enjoy some music and show off skills to an appreciative–often adoring–audience. Anyone competing has the chance to get to know other professionals as well as celebrate their own skills. Really, it’s just feel good time with an MC and raffle prizes” This is what our Barista Jam is all about, y’all. For anyone who enjoys coffee and an event to bring people together in a fun way. This event isn’t about being all stuffy and some professional event with endless rules, but rather a fun party to bring people together who love coffee!! “It’s a perfect way to celebrate the craft of coffee.” Yes, baristas compete but healthy competition benefits everyone’s skills and talents. Don’t let the word ‘competition’ scare you off though, as our event is more about bringing coffee lovers together than following strict rules and regulations. It’s a party to celebrate the people behind the coffee bar and the craft it takes to hone the skills needed to make those beautiful cups of coffee we quickly devour and that fuel our days. Our event’s main focus is a celebration of Tel Aviv, and Israel’s, coffee community that has been developing the past few years, with focus on celebrating the barista, as a professional, who is passionate about their work. >>>>>>> #TNTtelaviv <<<<<<<<<<
