Wang Li Coffee, Taiwan's first WCE World Cup champion, said: "A good cup of coffee must be connected with guests."

Wang ce, who won third place in the WCE World Cup Cooking Competition (World Brewers Cup) in 2016 as a newcomer, climbed another high-rise to take the championship trophy in 2017, throwing a shock bomb to Taiwan's coffee industry with less than 30-year-old and two-year-old seniority.

Wang ce studied in the UK for many years and majored in biology and food. in fact, he knew little about coffee. He had hoped to stay and work in the UK, but his father, the founder of Wang Li Coffee, was moved to persuade Wang ce to join his own company to help. At first, he was arranged to study at Rec Coffee in Fukuoka. Because he liked to interact with guests, he thought that coffee was warm and could connect with people. As a result, he fell in love with coffee. Later, when he went to Ethiopia, Panama and other coffee producing areas as a trainee, he found that the baristas around him were all contestants and national champions. He thought he was shorter than others, which inspired him to win.

It was also on such an occasion that he met Stefanos, the champion of the 2014 WCE World Cup, who not only encouraged him to participate in the competition, but also preferred to work as a coach to teach cooking skills. Wang ze embarked on the journey of the game.

Stefanos is good at using both hands to make three pots with two hands, and Wang ce is his first descendant in Asia. Wang ce practiced hundreds of times to stabilize his cooking technique, which stunned him in his first show and helped him win his name in 2016, but when he re-entered the competition in 2017, he focused on the presentation of service details. "after entering the world finals, everyone's coffee is delicious, but how do you share your coffee worldview and call the judges at any second of the 10-minute performance? this meticulous customer service cannot be quantified, but it is the key to success," Wang said. "

Wang ce recalled that designing a 10-minute exhibition had to do a lot of homework, including coffee beans, the geographical environment of the manor, climate and temperature, and baking technology, as well as grinding, brewing, flavor description, and so on. He wrote more than 10 articles and recited them more than 500 times. In addition to extensively absorbing coffee knowledge and brewing skills, he also reacquainted himself during the competition.

Wang ce always goes with the circumstances and enjoys life. When he was a child, his grades were always at the end of a crane, and he never competed in a race. But in the past two years when he participated in the brewing competition, he practiced repeatedly in a small laboratory. "I never thought I would put so much effort into coffee," Wang said with a smile. "

With the title of world champion, Wang ce does not rule out changing to the role of coach to train players in the future. he believes that a good barista must not only focus and absorb knowledge, but also have his own ideas. "Coffee is a combination of science and art. How to brew a good cup of coffee and let everyone know what is good about it, this cup of coffee will connect with the guests."

The next goal of Wang ce's plan is to set up his own international chain brand and train a professional team. This young man will open up a new realm for Taiwan's boutique coffee. Let's wait and see!
