In the Tasters Competition, competitors will film themselves doing three coffee triangulations, sponsored by BoonBoona, identify three mystery syrup flavors from Torani, and guess three essential oil aromatics. Competitors will be ranked by who identifies the most correct cups and smells in the shortest amount of time.
