How did you get into coffee roasting?
I was head barista and I developed interest in making our own house blend so I started purchasing different types of coffee and created coffee blend and one of the coffee blend (INFOOD BLEND) that I created became very popular. We started retailing and we bought a 2 kg coffee roaster and my journey in roasting began.
