2022.10.11

Solflare (headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Jiro Sekiba), operator of CROWD ROASTER , a cutting-edge online platform that enables new coffee experiences, will be exhibiting at SCAJ World Specialty Coffee Conference and Exhibition 2022 (sponsored by the Specialty Coffee Association of Japan), one of Asia's largest specialty coffee events, which will be held from October 12th to 14th, 2022.

 
■We offer a tasting set of 24 different types of coffee roasted by Japan's leading roasters!

 
CROWD ROASTER is the only app that allows individuals to directly request roasting of their favorite coffee beans from Japan's leading roasters.
At the exhibition booth, we will be offering a tasting set of 24 different varieties of CROWD ROASTER at different times to showcase its appeal.

The set includes the same coffee brand, roasted by three different roasters. This set allows you to experience the differences and individuality of how Japan's leading roasters roast the same beans. The brands include El Paraiso Farm and Geisha 's Anaerobic, among other distinctive coffee beans.

This is a special tasting set that can only be found at CROWD ROASTER , where you can communicate with roasters and request roasting.
 

■There will also be a talk session with participating roasters

 
Roasters who support and participate in CROWD ROASTER , a service that focuses on roasters, will appear at the booth and hold a talk session.
We will talk about how the beans in the tasting set were roasted, the differences in taste and flavor depending on the roast, and the work of a roaster, and we will convey the appeal of roasting.
We also plan to invite guests from the magazine "STANDART."
