Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I have been a barista for about half a year. I took a trip to Guatemala in 2008 and had the chance to tour of a coffee farm and take part of a cupping with a seasoned taster. Since then, I have had a hunger to learn more about coffee from bean to cup.

Everywhere! Particularly Latin America and New Zealand.
