It's a full Fritz Coffee Company takeover this September, with a series of events starring the beloved roaster from South Korea. Co-founder and 2014 Korean Barista Champion Park Geunha will be in town for our fireside 'Coffee Chats' series, where he will share what it's like to be in Korea's specialty coffee scene for over 20 years.
Well-recognised by their seal mascot, Fritz Coffee Company is one of the most iconic names in the country's coffee scene — setting standards in the industry since their establishment in 2014. Park started Fritz with five like-minded individuals who are passionate about coffee and community, with a cafe located in Seoul’s Mapo district, quaintly operating out of a refurbished hanok, a traditional Korean house. Today, he oversees the entire operations of the company, and travels to coffee-producing regions in Central America and Africa to source green coffee beans.
This key event in our September MCC Meetup will see Park sharing about his early days in the coffee industry and how it led to the start of Fritz Coffee Company; their sourcing philosophies, stories, and origins behind some of their famous house-roasted coffees; as well as his seasoned take on the specialty coffee scene in Korea.
In this edition of Coffee Chats, Park Geunha will discuss:
- How Fritz Coffee Company started
- His first experiences in the coffee industry
- On coffee — his philosophy and sourcing green beans for house roasts
- What it takes to be a barista champion
- Korea’s unique specialty coffee scene
