US Brewers Cup Champion, Weihong Zhang

Before our official opening, the 2024 US Brewers Cup Champion, Weihong Zhang, visited us to educate our barista staff on all things beans. He presented a holistic overview about bean quality, origin, and brewing. Weihong founded Blendin Coffee Club, which roasts, brews, and sells premium beans. Blendin also has two brick and mortar locations in Houston, Texas.

During his 2-day visit, Weihong led our barista team in a cupping exercise, so we could familiarize ourselves with premium coffee from Panama, Ethiopia, and Taiwan.
