This Geisha variety coffee is grown at the Sri Aunthin farm in the Chaloem Phra Kiat District of Nan Province, Thailand. Cultivated in a high-altitude region near the Laos border, the coffee benefits from significant day-to-night temperature variations, allowing cherries to ripen slowly and develop complex sugars. This washed process coffee offers a clean, floral cup profile characterized by bright acidity and notes of lemon peel, grape, cane sugar, and delicate spice.
lonich opened in Tokyo in 2023, founded by Ryosuke Maruyama and Tatsumi Niizato, who first bonded over coffee while studying at Kwansei Gakuin University. The roastery sources specialty beans from global auctions and conducts direct imports from Yunnan Province in China, building relationships with local farms and exporters. lonich operates as an omakase style tasting destination rather than a traditional walk in shop, offering curated coffee courses that guide guests through carefully sequenced cups. The philosophy centers on revealing hidden flavors and dimensions in each bean through precise, artisan roasting, grounded in the belief that quality is determined at harvest and honored through process.
