Sharing my coffee experiences on The Blog
The Coffee Collective #09: Brand Ambassador
May was packed with events and June is shaping up to be just as eventful. I’ve got two must-attend events lined up, but before we get into that, I’m excited to share some news:
I’ve officially joined Wawe Coffee as their brand ambassador, and I can’t wait to take you along on this coffee journey with me. In this monthly newsletter, I cover my plans with Wawe Coffee, the much awaited Home Barista Show, featured cafes like Drinkit and No Name and much more.
The Coffee Collective #06: Recharging Social Energy
Reconnecting with old friends helps recharge social energy. Reflecting on recent events, I’m reminded of the importance of staying connected. In this week’s newsletter, I cover a very unexpected pairing with coffee, visit to a cafe that has redefined coffee for me, a cupping event that bids farewell to the summer and many more.

Highlights from World of Coffee Dubai 2023
World of Coffee Dubai 2022 was the talk-of-the-town when the first edition was announced in the fourth quarter of 2019. As the curtains of that event closed, it promised an even bigger event the subsequent year. This year’s event hosted more than 12,000 visitors, a twofold increase from last year.
It’s the season of coffee cupping
Now that all the coffee competitions have somewhat come to an end or on pause, cupping events have surfaced. It’s great watching our favorite baristas compete, but cupping takes the cake when it involves tasting delicious coffee.
Having coffee with the Brewers Cup Champion
There’s a new cafe open in Sharjah, but at the far end of Rahmania. It’s called The Hut and it’s brought to you by the guys at Archers Coffee. Safe to say, it’s not going to disappoint. I had another ulterior motive of going, to touch base with a marketer, a creative, a brewing champ.
Highlights from World of Coffee Dubai 2022
When World of Coffee announced that it will take place in Dubai, I had the faintest idea that it would be at this scale. This is Europe’s largest coffee trade show that travels to a different city in Europe every year.
What I’m Brewing: Ethiopia Halo Beriti and Panama Graciano Cruz by Archers
I knew Archers meant business when I first brewed their Costa Rica H17. This coffee was super complex and every time I changed my recipe, I got different notes. Strong notes of green apple one time, and sweet and sour pineapple the other time. Was it my inability To brew consistently or was it just magic? Let’s go with the former because I love experimenting.
