Blackup Coffee started in 2006 and was one of the first specialty roasters in Busan. The Seomyeon shop is the flagship, a building of several floors with a terrace, and the bar at the front is where the baristas brew and talk guests through the coffee.

The company buys green coffee through Cup of Excellence auctions and direct from farms. It sells its Nero and Mono house blends alongside a changing range of single origin lots.
