According to external news, the "VWI" cafe created by the 2017 World Coffee Brewing Competition champion "Wang Ce" will be closed on September 5.

According to Yahoo! News and China News Network and other media reported that on the evening of August 16,"VWI" announced in the "Facebook Fan" that the "VWI" cafe located in Fuxing South Road will close on September 5 next month.

According to "VWI Facebook Powder Specialist", due to the impact of Taiwan's new crown pneumonia epidemic, coupled with the imminent expiration of the lease of "VWI" founder store, after repeated consideration and evaluation, finally "Wang Ce" and his team decided to close the founder store-"VWI" Cafe, which has been operating for nearly three years, on September 5 next month.

Wang Ce posted a post on VWI Facebook saying: "VWI" Cafe is the founding store of the brand, and it is also their careful experiment, and expresses gratitude to every VIP who has come to 36-8.

In addition, the message reads: "We have secretly embarked on plans for the next space, just within walking distance of 36-8." Hopefully, people who like VWI can enjoy relaxation more."

According to public information,"VWI by CHADWANG" Cafe opened in Taipei Breeze Square Business Circle at the end of 2018, which is the first branded coffee concept store opened by Wang Ce, the champion of the 2017 World Coffee Brewing Competition, in Taipei.

After opening to the public, the physical coffee shop "VWI" Cafe has become a must-visit place for many coffee lovers.

This has a lot to do with Wang Ce, founder of VWI Cafe.

Those who know something about the coffee industry should know that Wang Ce is a star in the coffee circle. He won the World Cup Brewing Competition (WBrC) in 2017 with three pots of coffee brewed with both hands, and was also Taiwan's first champion.

Chad Wang is from China Taiwan and comes from a coffee family. Wang Ce's father is Wang Zhu Cen, founder of Wang Li Coffee, a famous coffee supplier.

In 2016,"Wang Ce" won the third place in the WCE (World Brewers Cup) World Coffee Brewing Competition for the first time, and the next year (2017) won the World Cup Hand Brewing Competition (WBrC), which also made "Wang Ce" reputation reach its peak.

However, after this, Wang Ce appeared less frequently in competition occasions, and focused more on preparing his own coffee shop brand "VWI."

According to reports,"Wang Ce" founder shop "VWI by CHADWANG" coffee shop brand name comes from three types of water: Vapor (fog), Water (water), Ice (ice), Wang Ce has previously explained: pure hand-brewed coffee "water" accounted for 98.5%, the remaining 1.5% is coffee beans, and want to more than 100% by "human taste." The name "CHADWANG" is derived from the English name "Wang Ce."

Wang Ce's first store, in terms of decoration style, advocates a simple style throughout the store, such as the appearance of the store does not have a conspicuous signboard, and the interior is mainly designed with cement and wooden floors.

For the "VWI" cafe is about to close down, many netizens expressed great regret, but although the "VWI" cafe is about to close, fortunately they will open a new store next.

Finally.

In fact, since the outbreak of COVID-19, far more than VWI cafes have been hit hard by the epidemic and have had to close.

The soon-to-be-closed "VWI" cafe is just a small microcosm of the mass collapse of cafes in the epidemic.

At the end of January, the 300-year-old Caffè Florian in Venice was also hit hard by the epidemic and finally closed. December 29 last year happened to be the 300th birthday of Huashen Cafe, but due to the impact of the epidemic and other factors, the founder of Huashen Cafe decided to close the store when the management right expired in 2021; in addition, domestic Internet coffee chain brands even coffee, coffee chain brand COSTA coffee family, fashion coffee brand Man Coffee also suffered large-scale closure due to the epidemic.
