I’m one of the most decorated baristas in the world, holding titles: World Barista Champion 2018 and Coffee in Good Spirits Cahmpion 2022.
Besides, I’m a hunter of delicious beans. I personally select coffees that I’m sure you’ll dig.
Currently, I rock 14 Polish Barista Champion titles. Since 2008, I’ve competed in numerous international barista contests. Did I always win? Nope 🙂 but the list is pretty long:
and many more…
Actually, a lot in my life is a happy accident. My dad “kicked me out” to get a job to keep me and my brother busy during the summer.
I landed a gig at a coffee shop chain at the Poznan train station and… ended up sticking around way longer because the crew there was totally infected with the coffee bug, and they got me hooked. From there, things just rolled. I opened my own cafe (rumored to be iconic) and started competing seriously. The real game changer was winning the World Barista Championship title in 2018, also as the first woman in the world.
Nope. Coffee is a big part of my professional life, but privately I try to spend time on other things.
I’m a fan of Bake Off, Marvel movies, Juventus, and Roger Federer. I love sports and do some recreational running. I dream of having two dogs and moving to the countryside.
Right now, I’m mainly focusing on selecting delicious coffees under the brand Sheep and Raven. I also run a showroom in Warsaw, where I advise customers on choosing beans and brewing methods.
Sometimes I conduct trainings and expert consultations for companies. I coach competitors and.. still compete myself 🙂 And of course, I’m trying to realize my big project of a coffee paradise in Lower Silesia, a combo of a coffee roastery-cafe and coffee agritourism, where coffee will flow from dawn to dusk.
Thanks to my championship wins, I’ve built relationships with producers of unique coffees from around the world. However, during competitions, I brewed these coffees only for a narrow group of judges. I wanted to share my taste and experiences with people who simply love delicious coffee. Naturally, this led to the roastery project.
Of course, the starting point is specialty coffees, the highest quality. There are also unusual, interesting, and spunky beans that don’t easily fit into clear categories.
Specialty coffee is about diversity – unique, sometimes opposing forces that attract.
I like short comics and was looking for characters that could accompany me and you. Sheep and Raven visually represent different personalities, tastes, and habits. Sometimes we’re all a bit like a crazy, frolicky sheep, and sometimes like a methodical, orderly raven. Plus… my surname isn’t exactly media-friendly…
If I had to sum it up in one sentence: These are coffees that just taste good to me.
I’m a foodie, or simply a glutton, and I always look for something tasty and new in coffees. I’ve set a goal not to introduce a coffee that I wouldn’t enjoy drinking myself. Is it easy to find such coffees? Not necessarily, but I have quite a bit of experience now. Competing has opened me up to different flavors and methods of brewing beans, so everyone can find something for themselves in the world of Sheep and Raven.
What you'll find in the Sheep and Raven shop can be split into 4 main categories, making it easier to navigate through the flavor profiles.
Sweet, comfortable, easy to drink coffees for espresso and milk beverages lovers, offering classic flavour profiles.
Fruity, sweet, clean and complex coffees for little and big experts, which can be succesfully used as competition coffees.
Unique and fanky coffees for experimentalists and explorers. New processing methods, unexpected aromas, rare coffee origins.
Delicious, everyday coffees for pour-over methods: fruity, flowery, refreshing and juicy.
I created a free course about alternative brewing methods. With the help of it you will transform your precious beans into something delicious.
The plan is ambitious, and the roastery will be located in a small village in Lower Silesia in a historic barn.
There will also be a small cafe where I want to brew coffee my way again, plus a patch of green with deck chairs and a mountain view, but for now, the renovation is still going on 🙂
So currently, our coffees for Sheep and Raven are roasted by our friend Felix Teiretzbacher – founder of Kaffeelix in St. Pölten, Austria, and also the World Roasting Champion 2022 – so the beans are in good hands.
The showroom is a stationary store for Sheep and Raven located in Warsaw.
It serves as a kind of temporary command center for Sheep and Raven. Its decor connects with elements and the atmosphere of what will be seen in the roastery in Lower Silesia.
All the coffees from our selection are available, except for the White Raven category, which is roasted only on order.
I'd love to help you pick out a coffee and advise how to brew it.
