x-coffee explorer test-x

Yesterday am working closing shift and i supposed to take the coffee explorer test at 3pm...but because of raining started at 1.30pm and it just stop for awhile at 5pm, i unable to go early and i missed the test, so i have to wait the next session of the test on sunday,and it's not in my store,i have to travel all the way to Sunway medical center coz the next session is in there..

let me tell what coffee explorer test is...

Every partner (staff) that have been working within 6 month are qualified to take the coffee explorer test, but it's not a must..before taking the test every partners have to complete their coffee passport*(complete all the core beans and at least two or three limited time offering beans) and also they have to do the 4 quick coffee tasting, where they need to choose and answer 4 out of 14 question.

*coffee passport is the book where partners have to fill in all about coffee that they try during coffee sampling session*

the coffee passport




so after sitting this test and if the partner pass *mark for pass is 94* they will get "STORE COFFEE MASTER" tittle and they will get 1 black apron, 1 coffee master shirt and 1 coffee master pin *bronze color* (because store coffee master is the 3rd ranking in Starbucks, 2nd is district coffee master and the 1st is coffee ambassador)

Back to my story... actually am already a coffee master,coz i took this test 4 years back.Last time we can't wear the black apron while working they only allowed us to wear the black apron when there's special occasion like coffee seminar, so when the time i get the apron i just keep it and after shifted house i lost it. Now i have to re-take the test in order to get my black apron back..*now company allowed us to wear the black apron while working*

when i pass the test and get back my black apron am gonna post the picture here... lol
