‍

Perspective

Approaches coffee with curiosity and a focus on traceability, where both story and structure contribute to how coffees are understood.

“A great coffee shouldn’t need to be fixed — it should stand on its own.”

Also values coffees that offer a distinct sensory experience, often drawn to profiles that are more expressive, unconventional, or fruit-forward.

Education

Holds a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) from the University of Debrecen, with additional postgraduate studies in economics and quality assurance.
