Cody Chen, Taiwan
Kun Shan University
Please tell us a little about yourself:
I am 22 years old and come from Kun Shan University in Tainan, Taiwan. I started getting into coffee because I figured that I can create beautiful pictures with milk, and I fell in love with it. We record beautiful things and stories in different ways.
Let me share a little secret: I can't actually draw, but I want to tell everyone that with effort, you can create your own unique style in different fields. This is my 8th year participating in coffee competitions, but it's my first time stepping onto the stage of the WCC competition. With nervousness and anticipation, I stand on this stage. It's incredible to be the one standing here, having only seen seniors on the screen before. I will seize the moment and give it my all.
What are you excited to do while you are in Geneva?
I want to go skydiving at Zermatt.
What are your interests outside of coffee?
I enjoy traveling around and indulging in food and drinks at various places.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank?
I sincerely thank the Kun Shan University for their full support, especially My teacher, Rick Shih for accompanying us to various competitions.
Jerry from Yasumi has been by my side throughout the preparation, helping me brainstorm designs and providing various suggestions.
Lastly, I thank the Taiwan Coffee Association for taking great care of the competitors and providing us with opportunities to shine.
