In the Taiwan area trials of the 2017 World siphon Coffee Competition (WSC), four contestants from a chain of boutique coffee shops in Taichung City, such as Cai Wanyuan, Zhang Weixin, Zhu Shaoqi, and Jian Zimin, made their first attempt to reach the top six in Taiwan and performed brilliantly.

Because they were very interested in coffee, Cai Wanyuan and four others entered the professional coffee classroom of European boutique coffee to receive coffee education and training. the ages of the four people ranged from 23 to 26 years old, and received 16 hours of training every day two months before the competition. Zhu Shaoqi and Jian Zimin both won the prize for the first time.

Cai Wanxue and others participated in the Taiwan area trials of the 2017 World siphon Coffee Competition this year. All of them entered the finals held on July 8. The final four people won three to six places in one fell swoop and advanced to the top six in Taiwan, which made European CEO Wang Xinjun feel honored.

"I don't make coffee by talent, but by constant effort!" Zhang Weixin, who won third place, said that because of the "taste of missing," she had tried dozens of brewing methods and kept testing cups from morning to night. After recording the flavor of coffee every day, she found that the aroma of Taiwan native pineapple was the most suitable base coffee for creativity, adding liquid nitrogen to make the delicate and light aromas of roses and jasmine more intense, and soften the sweetness of pineapple.

Zhu Shaoqi, who won the fifth place, said that he often made himself nervous because of his pursuit of perfect personality, but by listening to the voice of his heart and maintaining solid coffee practice, he found the central idea of "making a good cup of coffee for his parents." and when he makes coffee, it's also his gentlest moment.

Tsai Wan-Xuan, who won the fourth place, once won the first place in Taichung City Creative Coffee, and this year is the third time to participate in the competition. She says that every year she returns to zero, rewrites scripts, designs props to actual exercises, and even assists other contestants to correct the flavor of coffee. "the world of coffee is very big, and keeping the enthusiasm for first contact with coffee can lead me to a more esoteric place."

Coach Huang Guanjie said that he requires everyone to enlarge their own advantages and show their own characteristics, so that they will naturally exude eye-attracting charm, maintain a happy mood, and refine their professional skills. These are the biggest keys to overcoming setbacks.
