This competition happened in 15th, 16th and 17th of September 2008. It had 17 competitors in this Regional (a lot less than it use to have) and which the best six scours got a opportunity to run in the National competition. It had several baristas from the best coffee shops here in São Paulo and some baristas from coffee farms and classifiers of coffee quality. It was a great event and I got the second place in the podium!
