About This Coffee

Grown at the Shimada Plantation in Cerrado between 1200 and 1500 meters, this Arabica Catuai is naturally processed by aging the beans in cherry form, building the smooth, buttery body and sweetness characteristic of Brazilian naturals. Japanese Coffee Co roasts the coffee using Sumiyaki charcoal, a Japanese technique that layers smokiness over the varietal's inherent balance of acidity and bitterness.

Japanese Coffee Co

If you think you’ve tasted everything in coffee, you probably haven't tried the Japanese Sumiyaki (charcoal roasting) method this company specializes in. Founded by Kei Nishida, they actually roast their beans over burning Binchotan charcoal, similar to high-end grilling, rather than using standard gas burners. This technique cooks the beans from the inside out, creating a savory, smoky flavor. It’s a totally different approach that feels more like traditional craftsmanship than mass production. You should definitely try their coffee if you want a cup that is rich, mellow, and incredibly easy on the stomach.
