Team Zap Noir Steps onto the ASEAN Roasting Stage

The opening update from ASEAN Coffee Roasting Championship 2026 shared the competition atmosphere of Team Zap Noir. The championship was part of THAIFEX–HOREC Asia at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, with its programme running from 11 to 13 March.

Espresso Academic was proud to see students from Laos step onto this regional stage. Our message recognised the courage to compete and the hours of practice and learning behind that decision.

The original album follows Team Zap Noir at the roasting station, working together beside the equipment and competition timer. We were cheering for our students as they put their practice to work in a new setting, and we look forward to supporting the next steps in their coffee journeys.
