5th place at National Brewers Cup 2026 âď¸
This year means a lot. My first time using Thai coffee on stage, from Gesha trees we planted 4 years ago with
@iamnotabarista and
@coffeewristbands . It still feels unreal, but Iâm proud to see it come full circle. Huge thanks to
@billy_akhaza.coffee @akhaza_coffee for making this possible.
This is also a year of redemption. Thank you
@billlisq1 for trusting me to bring
@pochogallardo coffee back to the stage and make things right.
These experiences came together into something meaningful. It was an honor to share this story at
@uscoffeechamps USBrC 2026.
This journey took a lot, and Iâm grateful for the support around me. My wife
@thymefor.t ,
@orea.uk (sorry for the Z1s đ
), and everyone who helped shape this behind the scenes.
