MINUTES WITH BARISTA: FREDA YUAN (FREELANCE BARISTA)
EACH FRIDAY I'LL FEATURE A BADASS BARISTA AND GET THEM TO TAKE ON TWO (FUN) CHALLENGES:
1. THE SELFIE CHALLENGE, WHERE THEY MUST TAKE A SELFIE WITH SOMETHING THEY LOVE OR LOVE DOING, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COFFEE!
2. THEY MUST TRY TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS IN 5 MINUTES.
