It’s a coffee brewing fiesta at Lujiazui

The 9th Lujiazui Coffee Festival has started brewing in Shanghai, bringing together more than 260 selected coffee brands and over 100 boutique coffee shops from more than 70 cities worldwide.

The coffee feast, which started yesterday at Lujiazui Central Greenland — the city center’s largest open lawn — will run until October 27.

The festival’s signature “City Roaming” project has introduced 12 international boutique coffee brands, each making their debut in China.

Among them are Manhattan Coffee Roasters from Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Ghostbird Coffee Roastery from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Proud Mary Coffee Roasters of Melbourne, Australia.

Three of the coffee shops participating are particularly noteworthy, as they were opened by “coffee champions.”

MAME Coffee from Zurich, Switzerland, was co-founded by Emi Fukahori, the 2018 World Brewers Cup Champion. Sheep and Raven from Warsaw, Poland, is led by Agnieszka Rojewska, the 2018 World Barista Championship winner and the first woman to hold the title. Um Coffee from Sao Paulo, Brazil, was founded by Boram Um, the 2023 WBC champion — marking the first time a Brazilian competitor has won the prestigious competition.

In addition to the international brands, the “City Roaming” project is also introducing 12 domestic boutique coffee brands at the festival.
