About the Class

You will receive the same coffee-brewing equipment as in the Starter's Kit for the class. This means you will be able to follow me step by step, and I will explain the procedure details as though we are in the same room.

I will give you tips for brewing. Everything will be shared with you — from which tools to use to how to check if you have brewed the coffee in the right way. I will also answer some commonly asked questions from my students in the past / questions you have but haven't had time to research answers for.

In order to help you understand which coffee beans to choose, I have selected 8 different coffee beans for you to taste every two weeks. Each package will come with two 50g coffee bean bags, which is around 10 cups of coffee. We will learn the 3 major processing types of coffee beans, followed by an introduction of dark roasted / blended coffee beans. There will be a special treat at the end of the 2-month program.

Brewing is fun, but it takes time to practice. Hope you will follow along and practice so that you can bring out the full flavor of the coffee you are brewing.

By the end of the class, you will be able to identify which coffee bean types you prefer, and distinguish different coffee beans wherever you go. I will guide you through the whole process, so that you can tell the difference between the coffee types through origin, color, smell and taste.

 

About Daniel

Hello, I am Daniel, one of the three owners of Blossom coffee shop on Bonham Road, and the roaster of our coffee shop. 

"My mentor taught me that a good coffee requires a balanced taste of acidity, sweetness, and bitterness, but ultimately, a good cup of coffee is whatever your heart desires."

 

A Mentor Who Changed My Life

I was just like your average university student who drank coffee every day. That is until I met my mentor Izaki san during a trip to Japan; I think that was the first time I actually reflected upon what "coffee" meant to me.

 

My mentor taught me different ways to enjoy coffee, and how to brew the coffee beans in the right ways to bring out the best flavor in the coffee beans.

I fell in love with coffee then, and decided to keep learning under his guidance in Japan. I was mesmerized by the complexity of coffee. Later when I came back to Hong Kong, I decided to open a coffee shop with my partner.

 

Specialty Coffee - Delivering the Best Quality Coffee

The way my mentor taught me to roast beans and brew coffee is now commonly known as making "specialty coffee". Back then, there weren't as many specialty coffee shops that treated coffee quality as their top priority.

Starbucks did a good job spreading the coffee-drinking culture in Hong Kong where tea is more common. While the chain-store became more focused on delivering quick takeaway coffees with a standardized process, I saw an opportunity to share my skills in brewing some quality coffee.

That's why my partners and I opened Blossom in Sai Ying Pun. It is a specialty coffee shop where everyone can come out and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

Sharing the Experience of Brewing Good Coffee

Coffee brewing in itself is a very satisfying experience. I started brewing coffee because of the satisfaction I gained from brewing itself, but seeing happy smiles on my customers was also immensely gratifying.

I want to share the experience of brewing your own coffee with students who are planning to take this class. Serving coffee to yourself or to someone else is very rewarding, and I hope students will find the experience as pleasurable as I do.
