ULT Coffee Roasters: Pursuing The Ultimate Coffee Experience Founded in Osaka by 2023 World Barista Champion Boram Um, ULT Coffee Roasters was created with a singular mission: to pursue the ultimate cup of coffee. The name “ULT.” itself reflects this ambition — a dedication to excellence, authenticity, and innovation in every stage of the coffee journey. 
At its core, ULT. is more than a roastery. It is a meeting point for producers, baristas, and coffee lovers worldwide, built on championship-level expertise and a deep respect for origin and craftsmanship. Their approach is defined by precision, transparency, and a modern roasting philosophy that highlights terroir while remaining approachable. 
By bringing ULT. to our Tai Kwun Shop, we aimed to share this philosophy with our Hong Kong coffee community — not just through tasting rare coffees, but through the values of identity, excellence, and connection that ULT. embodies. And just as ULT. strives for the ultimate cup, Loveramics continues to pursue the ultimate ceramics — crafted to elevate daily rituals, enrich sensory experiences, and inspire coffee lovers worldwide. A Special Visit from Boram Um 
We were delighted that Boram Um, the 2023 World Barista Champion, joined us during his travels to Hong Kong. His presence added a special dimension to the event, as he spent time connecting with coffee friends and sharing in the atmosphere of community. His visit made the afternoon truly memorable, reinforcing the spirit of bringing people together through coffee.

By presenting these rare and distinctive coffees, we offered our coffee community a journey that is usually reserved for international coffee shows or trips to origin. Our goal is to make these experiences accessible, bringing the world of specialty coffee closer to Hong Kong. Precision Brewing Meets Ceramic Innovation The event was supported by Eversys espresso machines, ensuring every extraction was delivered with consistency and precision. Everyone enjoyed their coffee in our Loveramics Boram Um Tasting Cups, designed in collaboration with Boram to enhance the sensory experience. Available in five vibrant glazes, these cups were crafted to balance acidity and highlight sweetness, inspired by Boram’s expertise as a barista. Holding these ceramics while tasting coffee added a tactile dimension, reinforcing the connection between craftsmanship and flavor. Our coffee bar showcased brewing as well, allowing our coffee lovers to explore how the same beans reveal different characteristics depending on preparation. Our Coffee Community 
At Loveramics, we believe coffee is more than a beverage — it is a culture that connects people across borders. Our Tai Kwun Shop continues to serve as a hub for this culture, welcoming coffee friends to discover ceramics, taste specialty coffee, and engage with the global coffee community. 
We sincerely thank all of the coffee friends and community members who joined us at the Loveramics Tai Kwun Shop and shared their time with us during this special popup. Your presence and enthusiasm made the event a true celebration of coffee culture and connection. We also extend our appreciation to the coffee brewing partners who supported the event and provided our community with the opportunity to taste and explore the exceptional coffees from ULT Coffee Roasters. Their dedication and craftsmanship ensured that every cup reflected the quality and passion behind this collaboration. 
At Loveramics, we remain committed to sharing the artistry of ceramics and the richness of specialty coffee. We look forward to welcoming our community again at future events, where together we can continue to explore, taste, and celebrate the culture of coffee. |
