Coffee in my life

      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.
