The workshop is held by Crina Ciocian, co-founder and business development manager Meron.

 

Crina entered the world of specialty coffee 7 years ago with the opening of the first Meron coffee shop. Her passion for specialty coffee came while visiting the coffee farms in the countries of origin where she learned everything related to the cultivation and processing of coffee, while participating in profile events outside the country and especially while practicing at the Meron Roastery.

Except when she travels, she starts her mornings in the laboratory inside Meron Roastery where she tests, analyzes or tastes coffee origins from all over the world.
