Coffee Masters (a.k.a. First-generation baristas) in Gangneung

“The most important thing is you need to make a coffee that you can drink in next 10 years or 20 years rather than following the coffee trend.”
Terarosa Café and Coffee Factory originally started as a factory supplying roasted coffee beans for cafes. This café and roasting factory offers nice brunch menu as well as coffee in a unique and refined atmosphere with sophiscated interior design.

“Terra rossa means red clay soil in Portuguese and it is called as ‘a land of hope’ in Brazil. It’s important to build coffee culture, that’s why I decided to create cultural space together with a coffee factory.”
