Founder of the first specialty coffee company in Beirut, Lebanon, and certified Q-Arabica grader, there is not much Dalia Jaffal has not accomplished. All it took was one bad cup of coffee for Jaffal to decide it was time to start roasting her own beans. Jaffal took risks in order to create her coffee business. She went from a steady job to pursuing an idea, one that many people disagreed with. Jaffal is a trailblazer in the coffee world - an Explorer through and through. Her zeal and determination to pursue her passion, and her unique brewing genius, inspire us everyday at Explorer.

From brew temperature to Indonesian and Australian coffee culture, Jasin is an expert in his field, and an inspiration to us all at Explorer.
