Moses Chan Creates Own Coffee Brand

Moses Chan (陳豪) possessed a long-time dream of opening his own coffee shop. In 2011, he opened his coffee shop in Malaysia, but the venture was short-lived and only lasted one-year due to differences with his partner. Becoming a father of two children did not alter Moses’ coffee dreams.  Spending over $10 million HKD, Moses is determined to make his own coffee brand, Blooms, a big success.

The 44-year-old hopes to create a unique and exclusive coffee blend for his coffee label. Taking part in the taste-testing portion, Moses sampled 50 cups of coffee in a day. After work hours, Moses would bring bags of coffee beans back to his house to continue testing at home.

After gaining business experience from his Malaysian coffee shop failure, Moses decided it is best to open a coffee shop in Hong Kong, which would allow him to monitor the operations more closely. In early February, Moses began scouting for a retail location and finally settled on a 4000-square-feet industrial unit for coffee testing and experimentation. Moses proudly hung the new business name on the door of his coffee-testing lab. Besides coffee, Blooms Roastery & Craft Tea will carry a wide selection of tea, various baked goods, and snacks.
