Meet Jun: Canada's Rising Star in the World of Latte Art

At Nomad Coffee, we take immense pride in our team of passionate coffee professionals. Today, we're shining the spotlight on Jun, our extraordinary barista who has been making waves in the competitive latte art scene across North America.

Jun's journey through 2024 has been nothing short of remarkable. His artistic prowess and technical precision have earned him numerous accolades, starting with victories at prestigious competitions like the Anchorhead Latte Art Throwdown in Seattle and the Narrative Halloween Annual Latte Art Throwdown in Everett, Washington. His creative expressions continued to captivate judges and audiences alike at the Fox and Oak Latte Art Throw-down, where he claimed another championship title.

Jun’s competitive spirit took him across the continent, from the Los Angeles Coffee Fest Esom Throwdown to Toronto's Oatbox Throw-down and the Latincouver Latte Art Competition, consistently demonstrating his exceptional skills and artistic vision.

What sets Jun apart isn't just his technical expertise. It's his ability to transform each cup of coffee into a canvas for self-expression. His designs aren't merely patterns in milk and espresso; they're stories told through carefully crafted shapes and flowing lines, each one a testament to his dedication to the craft. This passion for sharing his artistry extends beyond competitions. He's hosted a series of events called Latte Art hangout while gathering up to 120 people to share passions and love for coffee and art.

Looking ahead to 2025, Jun's calendar is already filling up with high-profile competitions. He's set to compete in the Coffee Fest World Latte Art Championship Open in New York, the SCA National Latte Art Championship in Toronto, and the Oatastic Night Latte Art Throwdown, also in Toronto. These upcoming challenges represent not just opportunities for more accolades, but chances to push the boundaries of what's possible in latte art.
