Leo Oliva, Brazil
Mykola lab lab
Please tell us a little about yourself:
I’m a Barista, bartender and coffee influencer on social media.
I'm currently working at Mykola lab bar. I started working at this bar so I could compete in CIGS last year. This year is my second time competing
What are you excited to do while you are in Geneva?
I want to know the bars and local gastronomy.
I believe that knowing the style and workflow is the big study to be done.
What are your interests outside of coffee?
I like communicating on social media about the universe of coffee and cocktails, and presenting this world to people who didn't even know it exists
Is there anyone you’d like to thank?
I only got here thanks to a lot of people who helped and cheered me on, and still do.
Specially Amanda Albuquerque for incentivising me to compete;
Mykola for having taught me so much;
Andre Hutz for the psychological help;
All my friends from Curitiba for supporting me so much;
Ariel and Carol for helping me practice;
And, of course, all my social media following!
