“Team work makes the dream work” there is no other way to start this other than being grateful for everyone who was part of this journey.
Deeply knowing this would be my last time on stage, I honestly wanted to build a love letter to everyone I met during these last 4 years. Celebrating these beautiful human beings is what elevated my coffee experience/career and honestly this world championship for me is this: celebrating all of you that work so hard to push this industry forward. This title is not mine, it is yours.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart, for bringing joy and hope to the largest coffee nation in the world 🇧🇷!
Thank you
