We sort cherries imported from surrounding farmers and collect high-quality cherries. The collected cherries are further soaked in water and gravity sorted to produce higher quality coffee. After the cherries are fermented in the fermentation tank for 12 hours, they are washed with clean water to remove the pulp, soaked in the soaking tank for 4-6 hours, and then transported to the African bed. Depending on weather conditions, the coffee is slowly dried over a period of 20-30 days.

Burundi for the first time in a while. Although it is a relatively affordable coffee, it is full of Burundian flavor and tastes delicious. (BTW, on the Coffee Year 1 characters page, the characters Rwanda and Blondie have a somewhat similar vibe, but their hair colors and stuff express their personalities, which is cute.) This time I chose Medium -Lightly roasted with a refreshing citrus flavor, enjoy both sweet and caramel-like sweetness. When roasting, the rate of heat rise decreases after one roast, so I roast the beans slowly, being careful not to run out of heat. I can't stand the slightly gorgeous herbal smell that comes from the baking process.

The refreshing flavor of citrus fruits such as hasaku and yuzu, and the sweetness of roasted caramel. It has a Burundian herbal aftertaste and a pleasant sweetness. In the hot summer, Burundi's iced coffee carries a refreshing sweetness that permeates the thirsty body.

About PHILOCOFFEA

Philocoffea was founded by co-founder Tetsuka Kaji and Masami Kaji. Tetsu Kasutani is the first Asian to win the World Coffee Brewing Championship. Tetsu Megu selects and purchases green coffee beans, creates roasting profiles, and controls quality. He understands the taste of black coffee better than anyone.

Taste is subjective, so there is no right or wrong. However, Philocoffea believes that cleanliness is the key to creating complex flavors, pleasant acidity and a long-lasting sweet finish in specialty coffee. As a result, Philocoffea has a "clean" character throughout, from light roasts to dark roasts, and provides a pleasant and long-lasting aftertaste.

Specialty coffee as defined by Philocoffea must meet four key criteria: location, cultivation, hand-picking and sustainability. This means you can trace your coffee directly back to the farm where the beans were grown. Their extraction process is handled with the utmost care and sustainability. So when Tetsu Kasutani discovers a coffee he believes in, he buys it directly from the farm. Having seen firsthand how they work and live, he values ​​relationships built on trust. After interacting with locals and experiencing their culture first-hand, Tetsu Kasutani was inspired to sell their coffee.

The Philocoffea store is equipped with the best Loring roasters in the world. It is also a roasting station and sacred laboratory for exploring new and unique ways of coffee beans. Tetsu Kasutani creates and manages all roasting configurations himself. When new green coffee beans arrive, Tetsu's expertise iteratively hypothesizes, tests, and develops roasting configurations to create the best possible product.
