This coffee is a Java variety grown in the Cauca region of Colombia at an altitude between 1,450 and 1,627 meters. It is processed using the natural method. The flavor profile features a sweet and tart acidity reminiscent of red plum and apricot, leading to a nutty finish. It is characterized by the spiciness typical of the Java variety and a rich fermented profile, offering a balanced and elegant character.
Founded in 2020 in Sumida-ku by Machi Kodama and Sho Takanaka, ou·bai·tou·ri takes its name from a four-character Japanese idiom (桜梅桃李) meaning cherry blossom, plum, peach, and apricot, an expression that each should be valued for its own character. Kodama won the 2023 1st Crack Coffee Challenge roasting competition. The roastery focuses on light roasts with fruit-forward profiles, sourcing seasonal lots and emphasizing the inherent flavors of each origin.
