Affiliations
I enjoy exploring new coffee shops and trying different pastries, discovering unique flavor pairings between teas, coffees, and baked goods. I love finding the perfect balance between a rich espresso and a buttery croissant or a floral tea with a delicate pastry. I also keep track of coffee and tea-related trends, staying up to date with new brewing methods, seasonal flavors, and café culture. Recently, I have found a new passion for cooking and baking, experimenting with different recipes and flavors to create delicious homemade treats. Alongside my love for coffee, I enjoy casual photography, capturing everyday moments—whether it’s the ambiance of a cozy café, a beautifully crafted latte, or the simple charm of daily life.
