The Masterpiece of Ethiopia!

I first heard about this coffee when a man came to Takamura and said, “I want to grow coffee in Ethiopia. There are many good coffee beans in Ethiopia but not in Japan. That’s why I want to bring their good coffee to Japan. Could you buy the beans if I go over there and grow them?”

As I was listening to his story, I thought he should make his dream come true. After 1 year, we got their green beans sample. I could tell that they had a better potential than COE (Cup of Excellence) even before roasting them. During roasting, it was so surprising how floral the smell was. I knew it had to be good! Ethiopia washed is a popular kind of coffee but these are much better than you’d expect. Enjoy the Ethiopian beans from Alaka farm!

The combined effort of over 100 producers! Our long-desired wish, 2nd place at the Burundi Cup of Excellence

Burundi is a small country located in the south of Lake Tanganyika. It is the poorest country in the world and has the lowest GDP in Africa. They also had the same tribal conflicts that Rwanda experienced. Unlike Rwanda, Burundi hasn’t experienced reconciliation yet. Coffee is a big part of the economy in Burundi. Coffee farms are mainly at a 1,600 meter elevation, beans are good and become firm due to a big temperature gap between day and night. Coffee is their top export and is a crucial part of Burundi’s economy. The average coffee farm size and quantity of production are quite small. Many small farmers bring their harvested coffee cherries to a washing station for processing.

Gitwenge washing station is located in the town of Gatara in the Kayanza Providence. They started in the 1990s and are known for their high skill. On average there are 2500 coffee producers contributing to Gitwenge. All their beans are processed together, and they are divided based on their flavor quality and profile. It means there are many varieties of coffee cherries from over 100 producers in one lot. Gitwenge washing station became a prime location for purchasing coffee cherries from other products. They are also passionate about education. They teach other farmers about the best planting time, wet mill processing, drying in raised African beds, and harvesting and special picking for coffee cherries. As a result, many lots won awards at Cup of Excellence from this washing station. Burundian coffee has a light mouthfeel, a refreshing acidity, and sweetness reminiscent f orange and other citrus. It’s perfect as an everyday coffee. These beans are a Takamura exclusive.

●GUATEMALA El Injerto Bourbon [C]

¥864

Body with sweetness typical of Guatemala

▼COMMENT
It changes from a prickly mouthfeel to a sweet acidity.
The acidity blends nicely into the clean body, and the coffee is very well balanced. It is indeed what is called the best specialty coffee plantation!
To be clear, I want to say, "If you don't know this farm, don't talk about specialty coffee."

▼Background Story
This world-famous El Injerto plantation is made with 100% Bourbon variety coffee under thorough quality control.
Unusual in the coffee production area, they have a sorting factory in our own field and carry out all the processes consistently. The farms are willing to invest in improvement so far. I haven't heard much about anything other than this El Injerto farm.

Roasting is medium roasting to maximize the individuality of the beans.
A medium roast produces a body with a sweetness like Guatemala, and it becomes a coffee with a proper richness and sweet scent.
It's the best coffee in the world, so don't drink it all at once when it's hot, and enjoy it in various temperature zones over time.
I'm sure you will be amazed by the change in taste!

●ETHIOPIA Yirgaheffe G1 [C]

¥810

Ethiopia, the birthplace. The origin and the peak.

▼COMMENT
The refreshing aroma of muscat and lemon is exceptional, which you would not expect from its bright, slightly pale color, which is like ruby.
It has the softness of Darjeeling tea and the sweetness of a fresh peach in the mouth.

▼Background Story
If you are a coffee lover, you will often hear the name “Yirgacheffe”.
But have you ever felt the tastes differ depending on the coffee house?

In fact, the coffee harvested in the village of Yirgacheffe is harvested in small villages and collected at nearby agricultural cooperatives. Because there are many agricultural cooperatives, the difference in flavor will come out depending on the agricultural cooperatives exported.
The Yirgacheffe Coffee Producers Union has a total of 26 district unions, but this time, we chose the Conga agricultural cooperative Yirgacheffe!

There are differences in flavor depending on the year, but this year's lots are very gorgeous and quite floral.
The standard is the highest grade, Grade 1, so it has a very beautiful taste.
Enjoy the essence of Ethiopian coffee, which is sometimes called "mocha"!

The Legend

The aroma and flavor have attracted quite a bit of attention worldwide. It was 2004 when Geisha, believed to have originated in Ethiopia, first entered the spotlight in the world. It began when La Esmeralda entered the Best of Panama coffee competition with the highest price at that time. La Esmeralda has kept beating their own record and has become a legendary coffee.

La Esmeralda is located in the South-West mountains of Panama. The average elevation is 1,600m, surrounded with rich nature such as rain and a native forest. They use no agricultural chemicals and select only ripe cherries. They are also careful with processing after harvesting - it is the farm where they produce the world’s top coffee beans. Private Collection is a micro lot with a unique aroma from this farm, planted between 1600 and 1800m.
