19CRL by Erik Liao - Taipei, Taiwan

Founded by Erik Liao — Taiwan Brewers Cup Champion, World Brewers Cup Semi-Finalist, and co-founder of Tri-Up Coffee — 19 Coffee Roasting Lab is an extension of his lifelong pursuit to bridge science, craftsmanship, and sensory expression in coffee.

Through close partnerships with producers and coffee professionals around the world, Erik works hands-on to develop and refine unique processing methods that both honor terroir and expand flavor possibilities. Each coffee reflects this collaborative approach — from expressive, approachable profiles designed for daily enjoyment, to intricate, competition-level lots that push the boundaries of processing and roasting precision.

Grounded in Tri-Up’s ongoing Green Project, 19CRL serves as a platform for experimentation and knowledge-sharing, translating years of research and competition experience into clean, balanced, and articulate roasts. The result is a body of work that captures Erik’s belief that true excellence comes from curiosity, discipline, and shared progress across the coffee value chain.
