I was lucky enough to make it to this massive event, the SCAJ 2025 exhibition and conference. I had just found out about the even one day before, so I wasn't sure I'd make it, but I managed to get there!

As a coffee lover, I was very excited to see so many products and people under one roof. Great energy!

In this episode, I'll tell you about some interesting coffees and products that I came across, and like I always do, I introduce a Word of the Day at the end of the episode.

Recently, my friend recommended this place for coffee beans. I went last Sunday and was so impressed that I decided to make an episode about it.

Thanks for watching and catch you at the next episode!

As some of you know, I recently travelled to Hokkaido.

While there, I went to a place called Aimer, that makes handmade treats using only plant-based ingredients – and most of them are sourced locally!

So, if you're visiting Niseko, you might want to check this place out; it's only about 30 kilometers southwest from there.

If you'd like to have a look at their products and check the details of their offerings, you can also check their website.
