Speaker: Hello there, this is Philip and listen to Coffee Stories. Meet Petros, the Greek operational manager of Coffee Lab, who shared with us his spectacular journey from Barista to where he is now. We hope his story can give Barista some tips to further and enrich her own careers.
Speaker: Stepping into the coffee industry at just 16 years old, Petros embarked on his coffee journey with the humble beginning. Whenever he recalls his apprentice experience, he barely complained about the tediousness of repetitive training and the low wages he received in his early career. When people ask him why he chose this path, his answer is honest and simple. My passion for coffee is the easiest answer.
Speaker: When I travel, I meet the people behind the coffee. I realise that I couldn't see myself anywhere else. Years later, Petros received a job offer at Coffee Lab. This opportunity to give him an audience with legendary coffee masters and working with them has led him to discover new brewing methods. After becoming an operational manager, Petros had the chance to meet farmers and get more involved in the whole coffee supply chain.
Speaker: He spoke about his trip to Cercardo Mineiro and his eyes danced as he thought back on his time amidst the flourishing coffee bushes. He learned he had ships of farmers and he plans to raise people's awareness of the many steps involved and increase their appreciation for coffee beans. Looking back at Petro's journey, he is like a mirror reflecting the possibility of life and the magic of curiosity and resilience.
