The 2015 World Latte Art Championship pitted champion baristas from 36 nations against each other to see who could create the most beautiful, engaging latte art creations, using both free pour and etching techniques. From those 36 competitors, six finalists advanced to compete on Finals Thursday at the 2015 Nordic World of Coffee. From those six, Caleb Cha of Cafenatics in Australia emerged victorious as the 2015 World Latte Art Champion.
