I have been a member of Doshisha University's coffee club "Saigetsu" for two years. Originally, I was just brewing and drinking coffee as a personal hobby. When I entered university and discovered Saigetsu, I honestly felt curious about what meaning there is in gathering together and engaging in activities through coffee.
And I clearly found the answer to this question. It was to incorporate other people's opinions and impressions. Through activities in Saigetsu, conversations with customers during our booth events and communication among members greatly changed my values and ways of enjoying coffee.
I was reminded once again that not only the coffee itself, but also the time spent talking with people through coffee, holds value.
