Please tell us a little bit about yourself:

I am a coffee roaster from Nanjing, China. I opened my first coffee shop 9 years ago, and I started roasting about 2 years ago. I am also a crazy trail runner, cycling enthusiast, and an outdoor sports lover.

Please list the coffee competitions you have participated in, what year they took place, and your results:

2017 China Coffee Roasting Championship – 1st Place

What roaster do you currently roast on?

Giesen

What are your interests outside of coffee?

Going to places I’ve never been before and experiencing different cultures.

Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognise, or who helped you to prepare for the WCRC?

So many people! My wife, my friends, my coach, teachers, and so on.

What are you excited to do while you are in Guangzhou?

I had been to Guangzhou several times, and some friends also live in Guangzhou. I’m hoping to enjoy the competition and achieve a good result.
