【Limited Time Only】011 TOKYO BLEND 2609

Description

＜TOKYO BLEND＞   【Limited Time Only】 It was released at our Omotesando store on September 1 and will be available exclusively on our online shop from September ９ to September 30. TOKYO BLEND is a blend that reflects the ever-evolving character of Tokyo. Rather than offering exactly the same flavor throughout the year, the coffees used in the blend change over time, allowing the profile to evolve gradually from season to season. At its core is a bright and expressive light roast. We carefully select coffees with distinctive character and create each blend so that its flavors continue to evolve as the temperature changes. With every sip, new nuances begin to emerge. We hope that taking the time to enjoy these subtle changes makes an ordinary moment feel just a little more special.   BLEND COMPONENTS | 2609 　・Ethiopia Chelchele Washed 　・Kenya Gititu Natural 　・Colombia Finca Las Palmas Orange Bourbon   From late summer into autumn, a wide variety of fruits come into season. For this edition of TOKYO BLEND, we wanted to create a blend in which different fruits reveal themselves as the temperature changes. The image behind this blend is a colorful fruit punch. Sweet and vibrant, yet layered with complexity that never settles into just one flavor. The fruits you discover may vary depending on the person, your mood that day, or even the temperature of the coffee. We hope you enjoy discovering the flavors that appear in each moment. The main component of the blend, Ethiopia Chelchele Washed, is characterized by its clean and transparent profile. Its gentle sweetness, reminiscent of peach and honey, forms the foundation of the blend. Adding further complexity are Kenya Gititu Natural and Colombia Finca Las Palmas Orange Bourbon. Kenya Gititu Natural has a powerful fruit character with a slightly wild expression. Its juicy notes of cranberry and blackcurrant bring a vivid accent to the blend. Colombia Finca Las Palmas Orange Bourbon offers bright citrus nuances reminiscent of yuzu and mandarin orange, followed by a lingering herbal aroma. Its distinctive character brings depth and complexity to the overall cup. As these three coffees come together, the blend begins with bright fruit notes reminiscent of apricot and mandarin orange, evoking shades of yellow and orange when enjoyed hot. As the coffee cools, the profile gradually shifts toward red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. Like Tokyo itself, TOKYO BLEND continues to change with the seasons and the passage of time. Its flavors shift gently, like the subtle gradation of changing colors. We hope you enjoy the vibrant, one-of-a-kind experience that can only be found in this season and with this particular combination of coffees.   BEANS DATA | FARM & PROCESS ●Ethiopia Chelchele Washed WS: Worka Chelchele Washing Station Producer: Various Small Producers Area: Gedeb, Gedeo, Ethiopia Altitude: 1,945–1,970 m Variety: Heirloom Process: Washed ●Kenya Gititu Natural WS: Gititu Coffee Factory Producer: Smallholder Farmers Area: Nyeri, Kenya Altitude: 1,770 m Variety: SL28 / SL34 Process: Natural ●Colombia Finca Las Palmas Orange Bourbon Farm: Finca Las Palmas Producer: Efren Echeverri Area: Palestina, Huila, Colombia Altitude: 1,800 m Variety: Orange Bourbon Process: Washed Roast Level: Light Roast   Flavor: Apricot, Mandarin orange, Red cherry, Raspberry, Honey, Juicy, Round, Sweet aftertaste
