During the SCAA exhibition in Atlanta, the first ever Canadian Cup Tasters Championship took place. Due to time constraints, it was a single-round shootout, using the same coffee selections as the US championship's semi-final.
During the last round of competitors, 49th Parallel's Barrett Jones edged out the leader - getting 7 out of 8 correct 22 seconds faster. He will represent Canada in the World Cup Tasting Championship, in Köln, Germany, this June 26-28.
