Putting
a cup of bean into the grinder, then the coffee starting to fill the room with
fantastic aroma, I enjoy this kind of slow and leisurely lifestyle in this
fast-paced city. For me , coffee is more than just coffee. This summer
vacation, I embarked on studying everything about this drink which has been
regarded as a thing to stay themselves awake.

As
a country kid from Nantou, planting is in my DNA. About three years ago, I put
the first coffee tree onto my grandma’s farm. Watching the coffee cherries
flourishing under the blazing sun and in the fresh air,” this is what I
like!!”, I thought at that time. Since then, coffee has become an important part
of my life.

In
2016 summer,I learned another skill of being a barista—roasting coffee. It
acquired more scientific knowledge and experiences to display the best aroma
and taste of coffee. Moreover, I often visit well-known shop and chat with
their owner , listening to them sharing what they encountered as they were
running the shop. Besides, I also participated in the seminar that the 2016
World Barista Championship winner- Berg Wu attended as well, learning a lot
from it.
