October is also an important day for the opening of our Japanese branch, Tasse Coffee Roastery. 🎊🇯🇵 Another founder of Tasse, Wing, is currently based in Japan to manage this new store that combines a cafe and a roasting room. In the future, we will further develop overseas cooperation. In addition to enriching our coffee bean selection for teaching, we will also launch more programs like overseas trainee baristas!

Connecting with the world, I had the honor of meeting and cupping with 2023 WBC Champion Brazilian-Korean barista Boram Um and his dream team and coaches Marcia Yoko (Japan), Cole Torode and David Crosby (Rosso Coffee Roasters, Canada), to understand the key path to becoming a champion barista. This interview will benefit me a lot in my future coffee journey.
