| Coffee Agenda 2026

作為天生工作狂，咖啡餐飲業打滾了差不多十年，這卻是我第一次以工作人員身份參與Agenda。真的很榮幸能成為其中的一份子！特別要感謝 @rc.63__ 的信任，讓我能有這次深刻的體驗。很高興能認識到大家，也很感謝前來探班的朋友們，是滿滿的愛。最後要好好謝謝場內各檔主餵食，讓我在飢熱交迫的狀態下仍能順利生存！

This was my very first time participating in a major event as part of the crew. I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of it! While it was an intense and tiring experience, it was incredibly rewarding. I had the wonderful opportunity to connect with new people and reconnect with many old friends. This marks a significant milestone in my journey, and I look forward to seeing everyone again at the next one.

Two years at 8 Aybrook St.

To mark it, Paul and Roosa stepped back behind the bar for the day.

We’ve also released a birthday box: two Geishas from Hacienda La Esmeralda’s Cañas Verdes farm, both from the Trapiche lot.

Trapiche 7FB, Geisha, Washed
Picked over 7 passes, dried on raised beds.
In the cup we find lemon iced tea, jasmine, orange blossom.

Trapiche 4ANC, Geisha, Anaerobic Natural
Picked over 4 passes, dried in a temperature and humidity-controlled cold room.
In the cup we find peach, marmalade, strawberry.

Each comes as a single 24g dose in a custom-engraved Weber Workshops Bean Cellar. Now online.

Thank you to everyone who came by, and to everyone who’s been through our doors over the past two years.

We’re also releasing something special for the occasion: two coffees from the world-class Hacienda La Esmeralda.

Thank you to our wonderful team, to everyone who has supported us in bringing Special Guests to life over the last 24 months, and to everyone who’s come through our doors for a cup of coffee.

See you Monday.

The Best of Panama 🇵🇦

After being in coffee for over 10 years, I can honestly say that being present for BoP has been one of the most incredible experiences I have yet to experience. How incredibly honoured and lucky I am to have been a guest cupper last week, experiencing the world’s best coffees, in the most beautiful place, surrounded by talented producers and incredible people.

Met many new people, made some new friends, and experienced Panamá coffee in a way that not many people have, and I feel so grateful 🥹

There is SO much that goes into this behind the scenes, months of hard work that we experience in a single cup on the table.
Big kudos to the roasting team for the care and attention that goes into every sample of coffee that passed through their hands. @benjaminput leading the team for endless hours every day for three weeks to make each coffee shine, not settling for mediocrity, and doing it with so much passion, thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Ben P and Ben T deserve medals of recognition, cheers to you boys 🥇 🥇 missing Tre Scalini already!

Big congratulations to all the producers in the finals, your coffees will live in my memory forever.

Congratulations to my Panamá family @lamastusfamilyestates on your big win, your coffees are stunning and I’m so happy for you ❤️

Thank you @aldyeay @almallouhi @helloitsfajar @roosalyydia @vickoyner @chevas_coffee_ltd for hanging out with me and taking care of me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you @benjaminput @wlamastus @koynerricardo @janson.kai for this opportunity to guest cup, I am forever grateful!

What a week 🥹 Table 20 forever 💪🏻

Part 1. A week filled with wonderful visits. ☕️

Sharing time with people who are deeply passionate about coffee is always a privilege. Every conversation, every cupping and every exchange of knowledge helps build stronger connections around what we love most.

Thank you for being part of it. You are always welcome at Flying Pumas.

More moments coming soon.
