 Today June 21st has probably been the best day in the so far short life of The Coffee Collective (TCC), a micro roastery in Copenhagen. One of the four collectivists, Casper Engel Rasmussen won the World Cup Tasting Championship earlier today. And now TCC has just won the SCAE Young Entrepeneur Award.
This is a pretty amazing footprint by the less than one year old company. But it does not stop here. While Casper was competing in the World Cup Tasting Championship, the roaster of TCC, Peter Dupont was chosen as the roaster of all the coffees used in the competition. Casper told me about how Peter has had all the coffees in a locked box in the back of their workshop, to be sure that Casper didn't have a chance to know about the coffees before the other competitors. Additionally there is a chance that TCC beans will win the WBC championship. The Danish barista Søren Stiller Markussen, who has qualified for the WBC final, is using the TCC espressoblend. And even though I'm not sure, I think they have also been involved in other of the finalists blends. One can only have the deepest respect for the work these four guys, Klaus Thomsen, Linus Törsäter, Casper Engel Rasmussen and Peter Dupont are doing. Read more about TCC on their website and follow their very interesting blog.
