TAKAMURA COFFEE ROASTERS was started by a wine specialty store in order to provide "delicious coffee that enhances the afterglow of a meal." IWASAKI , the head roaster, is a skilled roaster who came second in the JCRC 2018, a competition that tests roasting techniques, and won the JACRC 2019, a competition to determine the best roasters for competitive beans, the following year. Just as wine merchants search for delicious grapes, he has made it his mission to find great coffee producers and work with them to promote delicious coffee. He searches for undiscovered producers in Japan and handles many nano-lots that he imports himself.

"World Best Coffee And Young Heart!!"

Ethiopian Washed is joining the competition. Will it be floral or sweet? You'll have to wait and see!

Coffee is liberating, stimulating, and possesses a mysterious power.

I think Japan is truly a coffee paradise, as you can find so many great coffees here.
Now, in such a fortunate environment, I want to truly enjoy my encounter with coffee.

I genuinely want to deliver my coffee to all of Japan, no, all over the world, increase the number of addicts, and bring smiles to everyone's faces.

My theme is "World's Best Coffee and Young Heart ."

I want to put "Freedom Coffee" into practice so that with a single cup of coffee, you can feel an incredibly fresh "vibration" and "good jealousy."

If you're going to drink coffee anyway, I think it tastes best when you're laughing while you drink it.

So! I want you all to keep smiling.
So I have to smile too, which means I smile and give a double peace sign every day.

Yirgacheffe G1 processed at the Alicja Washing Station. This special batch is made up of coffee from approximately 650 Alicja farmers.

Most of the coffee growers near Alicja Washing Station are small-scale farmers who own less than one hectare of land. They grow coffee as a cash crop, and also cultivate potatoes, mangoes, avocados, and other subsistence crops to support their basic livelihoods.

Due to their limited income, they cannot afford to purchase Manabu fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides, so they cultivate their crops without using them.

At the Alicja Washing Station, the cherries are first sorted by floater, then sun-dried on African beds. To ensure they reach the G1 grade, the final process is carried out by a large number of people, who are meticulously sorted by hand.

It has flavors of lime and blood orange, a sweetness similar to yellow peach, and a medium body that makes it a satisfying drink.
