Tetsu Kasuya
2016 World Brewers Cup Champion
Working at Coffee Factory (Ibaraki), Tetsu Kasuya Tetsu was in a great mood when he told us about his ear-
knows his way around Aeropress. It won’t be an exaggeration to ly coffee journey, and it all started from diabetes. “I used to drink
call him an Aeropress expert as he is the 2016 Japan Aeropress soft drink all the time. After I realized I have diabetes, I switched
champion and the 2016 Japan Brewers Cup champion, but his to coffee - the same colour drink (laugh). Coffee is complex and
winning streak didn’t stop there. His reputation stretches even very intriguing even when I am now a world champion. This is
further when he represented Japan at the 2016 World Brewers why I decided to step into the industry. Coffee also acts as the
Cup Championship in Dublin and earned himself the title of the bond between farmers, pickers, consumers, baristas, roasters, and
champion! the people. It brings people together and I have coffee to thank
for opening up opportunities for me to meet so many people,
including you (CTI Magazine),” Tetsu said.
