What is your coffee of choice:
I like coffee with charming characters.

I learned from the owner of our company, Moonkyu Jang who was 2nd Place at the 2014 WCRC in Rimini.
Who is your roasting hero?:
The owner of our company, Moonkyu Jang.
What is your favourite weather to roast in?:
Thinking about the weather in Korea, it is better to have a hot and humid summer than a cold, dry winter. In fact, I have so little experience that I need to experience more in the future.
What music do you listen to when roasting?:
I do not listen to music when roasting.
What is your secret weapon when roasting?:
I still do not know my own merit to answer that I am a secret weapon in roasting.
What is your best roasting memory?:
When multiple batches of the same bean were processed, they all progressed to the same profile without error.
What is your worst roasting memory?:
When I did not follow the profile I had envisioned, I had to modify too many variables at once, and ruin the next batch. I learned that it is wise to take one step at a time in handling coffee.
