"Let's
Explore
Every
Coffee
in
the
World"
The
speciality
coffee
scene
is
flourishing
in
South
Korea,
and
the
city
of
Daegu
(Gyeongsang-buk
Province)
is
setting
the
standard
high.
Testament
to
this
is
local
coffee
roaster
Cupoโs
newest
venture
โBlack
Road
Coffee;
opened
recently
in
December
2020
this
is
visually,
and
conceptually,
one
of
the
most
unique
cafes
in
the
country.
Enter
their
second
floor,
candle
lit,
mahogony
clad
cafe
and
you
could
be
mistaken
for
finding
a
speakeasy
whisky
bar.
Upon
"checking-in",
each
customer
is
invited
to
taste
three
different
styles
of
coffee
before
Captain
Shin
(owner
and
head
roaster)
and
his
crew
of
expert
baristas
lead
lead
you
on
a
bespoke
coffee
expedition.
Instead
of
maps
youโll
be
using
their
illustrated
guide
books,
each
with
detailed
descriptions
of
the
region,
coffee
bean
variety
and
process
of
every
cup.
The
guide
books
come
in
three
different
levels
from
Newbie,
Intermediate
and
finally
Master
level,
each
one
with
an
accompanying
badge
or
rank
to
indicate
the
stage
of
your
coffee
journey.
The
variety
of
coffee
beans
is
astounding;
their
coffee
list
has
over
20
different
varieties
including
Colombia,
Kenya,
Guatemala,
Panama,
Peru,
Costa
Rica,
Honduras
and
Ethiopia.
A
rare
selection
of
processes
are
also
available
including
Slow
Dry,
Yeast
Fermentation,
Geisha
Natural,
Black
Honey
and
Double
Anaerobic.
Naturally
the
price
for
each
cup
of
coffee
ranges
depending
on
the
exclusivity
and
volume
of
beans
available.
Starting
at
6,000
์
($
5.40)
the
most
expensive
cups
of
coffee
range
from
12,000
์
($
10.90)
up
to
20,000
์
($
18.10).
โBlack
Road
Coffeeโ
truly
fills
a
gap
in
the
market
for
Korean
consumers
who
want
to
go
beyond
their
everyday
Americano
or
Latte,
allowing
them
to
delve
deep
into
the
world
of
coffee
growing,
roasting
and
brewing,
while
finding
coffee
that
truly
suits
their
own
taste.
