Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
