From a university lecture hall in Hong Kong to Australia's Gold Coast, candice story is not just about coffee, but about a journey of excellence and shared passion. Her academic background in Hong Kong fostered her love for food culture, but what really ignited her passion for the coffee world was her work experience in coffee shops on the Gold Coast and Melbourne in Australia, as well as her in-depth study of local coffee courses.
Candice journey proves that coffee is not only a drink, but also an art and culture. Her passion and expertise is not only a personal improvement, but also a manifestation of social responsibility.
