This past weekend, Jakarta, Indonesia hosted the second edition of World of Coffee Asia, where George Jinyang Peng was crowned the new World Brewers Cup Champion. While his winning coffee still lingers fresh in the minds of attendees, organizers have already announced the next host city: Bangkok, Thailand, for WoC Asia 2026.
The news was shared during a signing ceremony involving the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), Exporum Inc. (also behind Café Show Seoul), and the Barista Association of Thailand.
