Writing this post took longer than expected. Glad. Is probably the word that I currently feel right now. This journey started about 11 years ago. Where I first came across the triangulation exam which I loved a lot during my Q-grader exam. I took this facination to the BOBC Cup Taster competition and won the first competition in my life. At that very moment, I aspired to be able to represent Malaysia one day. Many years passed, and I also delved deep into coffee competition judging and that became foundational to my evaluative sensory capabilities which I am still continue honing till today. Fast forward 11 years later, I signed up for the MCTC , its our 2nd year running this competition in Malaysia . Preping into this competition, I tried, failed, doubted but I also believed all these needs to be faced and will pass. My biggest competition is myself, having supportive team members and also peers from the industry, I really wanted to be in the best condition on stage. My biggest insecurity working towards this competition is to not able to stay focused as I was managing multiple roles in this competition season. Roasting for a competitor, being the competition organizing committee for MBrC and also being a competitor myself. Competition training camp actually started last year. @limving encouranged me to participate the Jakarta @theirontongue as a mental prep for myself to be back on the competition stage, which I resulted to a fulfilling 2nd place. Then organising our own @theroastthings Cup Tasters Challenge to put me in a position to be challenged. Practise sessions with the team on a weekly basis. I started running as a form of self-work to train my focus which I needed to sharpen, came about 2 months before competition. The strategy I went into every round is to give my very best to stay focused, and I am so glad everything paid off at the end. I’m truly humbled by the roaring support received during the Semi-finals and Finals, as a competitor the energy is felt to the core. Taking this win is for the people and community who believed in me. Thank you. The throphy is finally home. Next stage, worlds stage, we will try our very best. Jin

You aim for it and you made it!!! @c_towjin Malaysia Cup Tasters Championship 2025 CHAMPION ✨

{Espresso based} essential & exceptional Apart from the default coffee for your daily dose, we have some exceptional selections for you too. We have two new offerings now, both washed process, Terroir driven. Ecuador Finca Soledad Sidra & Panama Iris Estate Gesha - both beautifully floral and sweet in their own way. Give them a try.

[La Salsa, Heirloom] La Salsa is a farm blessed with rich soil and growing conditions that are ideal for coffee cultivation. We came across this heirloom variety originating from Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. We love this coffee for its delicate white floral notes and honeyed sweetness. Its soft acidity reminds us of peach, giving the cup a gentle and refined character. We would recommend brewing this coffee with a longer ratio, starting from 1:17, to better express its clarity and delicacy. What we enjoy most about this coffee is its layered yet delicate character — a coffee that remains deeply enjoyable even in its softness.

“A lineup that represents The Roast Things.” That was the idea behind the coffees we chose for this show. For those who are just getting to know us, we hope our coffee curation speaks for who we are— the kind of coffees we love, and how we express them through our roast style. Two days into the event, we’ve been genuinely surprised by how many people were excited to try our Honduras coffee. It’s an origin we personally love, and one we’ve been building relationships around over the past few years. World of Coffee Bangkok has been a very meaningful event for us. We’re honored to represent Malaysia at the World Cup Tasters Championship. Congratulations to all the finalists! We can’t wait to cheer everyone on tomorrow. If you’re around, do drop by our booth and have some coffee with us.

We didn’t make it 🙇🏻 Thank you to @malaysia_specialty_coffee for all the support. Thank you everyone for the love and encouragement, it truly means a lot to us. Words can’t describe how grateful we are. And because we didn’t make it, we’ll try again.

Cream began 12 years ago as an extension of the roastery—a space to showcase the coffee experience without diluting The Roast Things’ core as a roastery. Over the years, we’ve witnessed the growth of specialty coffee, finding its place in more people’s lives and hearts. We feel that Cream has fulfilled its role, and it is time for it to take shape on its own in the future. Moving forward, a space familiar to many will take on a familiar name—The Roast Things. Not as a change, but as a clearer expression of the roastery’s identity. There isn’t anything new to expect—just honest, good coffee, as always. A new hello from a familiar face—for some, and perhaps a new one for others in the years to come. / 22.4.2026

【blind date with a coffee】 by @theroastthings ☕️ and here's what I got, Indonesia Semendo Supernatural ✨ Region: Mt. Semendo, South Sumatra Varietal: Kartika & Andung Sari Elevation: 1600-1650 masl Process: Natural Layering Drying With flavour notes of mango, gummy, dark honey and dark oolong tea. resulting in a sweet, juicy and fruity cuppa ☕️

Java varietal. Why we love it? It has very distinct and persistent varietal characteristic. Across different origins, we consistently find a persistent floral characters and elegant structure — but terroir shapes how it expresses itself.
