Apollon's Gold originated in Tokyo. Since 2019, they have continuously updated their roasting and extraction techniques based on feedback from customers, numerous coffee expert friends, and partner farms. They place particular emphasis on showcasing the uniqueness and diversity of coffee varieties and origins. They consistently strive to convey the flavor profiles and individual characteristics of different regions and varieties. They highly value their relationships with producers, sourcing beans directly from many of the same producers each year. Furthermore, depending on the harvest season, they process only green coffee beans suitable for drinking, thus achieving a rich diversity of coffee varieties beyond the main producing regions.
Apollon's Gold coffee is renowned for its unique all-purpose roast (suitable for both espresso and pour-over). The beans have a light roast appearance, but can be enjoyed in various ways, from pour-over to espresso, and even with an AeroPress, Moka pot, or Turkish brewer. At Apollon's Gold Kitanomaru, they offer beans roasted in the same way they use for pour-over espresso. From green bean sourcing and roasting to quality control, all processes are completed at their downtown headquarters. They only sell beans that have passed rigorous inspection by their QC team.
The owner, Mr. Ye Yuanjialong, is passionate about exploring the possibilities of various bean flavors between light and very light roasts, giving them a rich and clean taste with a high degree of clarity, which in turn highlights the rich floral and fruity aromas.
