January-April 2023-Tasse Coffee
Review from January to April 2023 - Celebrating collaboration and growth 🌱
As we close out another amazing year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the milestones and achievements that have shaped our rocket-like journey this year 🌟
⏪ January
As the first year of social enterprise, we would like to thank the Hong Kong Federation of Social Enterprises for recognizing our efforts and allowing us to participate in the Hong Kong Social Enterprise Employee Recognition Program 2022 and distribute Tasse's own coffee drip bags to all guests. At the meeting, we also met the visually impairedMemberHe excitedly shared his experience working as a barista. We will continue to shoulder our social responsibility of helping the disadvantaged communities.
In order to help physically handicapped and multi-disabled students better master coffee brewing skills, teachers from the Hong Kong Red Cross Princess Alexandra School set an example by enrolling in the City and Guilds course at Tasse so as to achieve the goal of sustainable coffee development in the school in the future.
We then helped the school successfully apply for funding to organize a series of coffee-making training courses by providing advice in the coffee field, allowing students to enjoy different learning experiences.
⏪ February
We worked hand in hand with the Hong Kong Society for the Deaf to launch the City and Guilds evening course, successfully training hearing-impaired people to work as baristas. This was another major challenge we accomplished after training the visually impaired!
In the same month, we also invited Mr. Takuya Miura, the Japanese SCAJ champion, to collaborate with us to facilitate overseas coffee bean pre-order activities.
In addition, as a representative of the coffee industry, we have successfully promoted the Hong Kong-style milk tea culture to businesses and communities for the first time! Hong Kong’s traditional food culture is inseparable from coffee and milk tea. We hope to help preserve these important colors through various opportunities.
⏪ March
Our unremitting efforts in promoting coffee culture in the past have earned us the trust of major companies. Following our collaboration with Apple and Cathay Pacific last year, we were fortunate to be invited by Microsoft to host a team building event, allowing employees to relieve work stress through coffee.
IVDC graduates from the Employees Retraining Board (ERB) made a surprise appearance at Tasse to visit their instructors, reminisce about their courses and share their current employment status.
⏪ April
After the epidemic, we had the opportunity to visit the Songyue Coffee Farm in Taichung and the local coffee shops with unique characteristics. Not only did we have the opportunity to get close to many tree species and learn about the development of Taiwan's boutique coffee, we also established a friendly relationship with the Guo couple, laying the seeds for coffee exchanges and cooperation in Taiwan in the coming year.
At the same time, we successfully strived to launch Tasse's fifth international certificate course - the Italian Barista Certificate course, becoming the only authorized examination center in Hong Kong and representing the sixth examination academy in East Asia after South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Wenzhou and Guangzhou.
Whether it’s working with the community, engaging internationally, or joining hands with leading companies in various industries, these four months have been filled with opportunities for collaboration and growth. We will continue to work hard to use coffee as a medium to create value for society and promote a better future.
Please stay tuned for our next review and continue to witness our growth journey!✨
