“It’s pitch dark!” — Coffee producer ‘Joselyn’ says,

We slowly dry our coffee in a humidity controlled Dark Room, like the one that you use to develop film.”

“It takes over a month to dry one lot as you have to dry it slowly. We can only do limited amounts, so we prioritize the batches that we want to focus on and dry them here."


Visual Artist Kevin started recounting the first day he met Joselyn's Dark Room. And he decided to make his own artwork to visualize tasting notes using the Lumin Print technique in the ‘Dark Room’.

Just like coffee producer 'Joselyn' processed coffee in her own ‘Dark Room’.

“With the first sip of Joselyn’s Dark Room, I could tell that this was a completely new palate experience. The clean, smooth texture, alongside floral flavors in the cup reminded me of a light pink color.“

Inspired by Joselyn’s Dark Room Series,
Kevin focused on the taste of coffee through Lumen prints, Dark Room techniques, and digital works to present colors.

“It was like a sunny day surrounded by a garden full of flowers. These warm-hearted images touched my mind.“

Using natural ingredients of tasting notes with ground coffee beans, they present ‘Visualizing Taste - Floral, Aromatic, Fruity, Acidity'.

With his partner Minjae, they show graphic experiments in their signature, abstract and dreamy technique.

Welcome to immersive moment in our Dark Room.
