With so many exciting programs and activities, the CCH wants to get as many people from the coffee community around the world involved as possible ”after all, the site is completely free to use and exists only to educate. In order to attract a whole new audience (and reward the existing users), the CCH is launching a contest! This will be an “activity where people can engage with the Hub and learn about coffee through all of the knowledge and content that Café de Colombia has and has developed in the Hub, while growing our community to encourage coffee discussions and knowledge exchange,” says our friend, Michael Losada, of Café de Colombia.

It’s called Coffee Match to Origin, and here’s how it works: from April 7 to June 31, coffee lovers from around the world will have the opportunity participate to be one of the two Hubbers to win a trip to Colombia to assist to the Barista Open Camp with Fritz Storm and Kentaro Maruyama in Venecia from September 30 to October 2 (Antioquia, Colombia), and also to visit Expoespeciales 2014 in MedellÃn from October 2 to 5.
