Grateful to be the 3rd Runner-Up at the HB Best Batch Roaster Contest 2026

Huge thanks to for organising a great competition, for the venue and strong support team, and for sponsoring a beautiful Ethiopia Guji Washed — clean, consistent, and high quality.
Shoutout to (2nd Runner-up)for fighting this together 💪

From Segamat all the way — Segamat Power! ⚡️

For this competition, I focused on green analysis (density, moisture, screen size), followed by IKAWA sample roasting and cupping to understand flavour potential.

The competition roaster had strong airflow and convection heat, so I chose a faster roast with extended developmentto build sweetness while keeping clarity.

Result in the cup: bright acidity, floral notes, dark berries, high sweetness, and a long tea-like finish.
Great learning experience, pushed me out of my comfort zone.

This competition was full of strong roasters — huge respect to all fellow competitors. Every batch showed skill, understanding, and care for the coffee. Learned a lot from watching and sharing ideas with everyone

See you at the next competition!

End your year with YUKI — a cup filled with festive joy. 🎄✨

Once upon a festive season, we challenged YUKI to bring Christmas magic into a cup.

So for 3 whole months, we roasted, cupped, adjusted, argued, celebrated… and finally, YUKI said,
“Ok lah, this one got holiday vibes.” 😆✨

We built this blend like a Christmas story:
🍇 Ethiopia Jorroo Natural (60%) – the juicy, berry-jam beginning
🍓 Ethiopia Guji Shakisso G1 (30%) – the smooth, black-tea middle
🍉 Colombia Finca Milan Watermelon Nitro (10%) – the fun, surprising plot twist

The result?
A cup that tastes like Berry Jam, Black Tea & Cookies —
and yes, it brings those festive flavours that make your coffee say “ho ho ho.” 🎅🎄

Lightly roasted, bright and sweet, YUKI is here to follow you through the final chapter of the year —
