【February Limited】BAIOH Blend ~梅鶯~

  梅鶯　- Baioh -

Prunus ume heralds the arrival of spring.
A bush warbler is a well-known spring bird in Japan.

Our ancestors often used this combination
as a beautiful expression
of close relationships and lucky charm.

So we blended two varieties of coffee this time
to maximise their potential and synergy.

You can feel a crisp acidity like a Japanese plum right after you sip.

 A green apple-like refreshing taste expands gently. The reddish and greenish flavours become as pleasant to taste as spinning a thread.

【Cupping Comment】

①Crisp, plum-like acidity and sweet aftertaste.

②The tartness of cranberries and green apples slowly spreads on the palate.

③Long-lasting honey and syrupy aftertaste.

【Recommended brewing method】

▼from Roaster

I've recognised a gorgeous reddish character in the Ethiopian conga. The mixture of Ethiopian natural and Burundian coffee does seem unsuitable. However, you can taste reddish and greenish synergy from the blend. It also has a plum-like flavour that does not appear in Ethiopia on its own, blended with a synergy that is unique to Burundi.

SEASONAL BLEND 2023について 

The theme of this year's seasonal blend is 'Hanafuda'.
(Japanese traditional card game) 

「花札  Hanafuda」

Japanese people often play Hanafuda, which is a traditional card game from hundreds of years ago. The designs of the cards are flowers, birds and nature representing each month. There are some cards that have unique combination. Such as "pine tree and clanes", "cherry blossom and curtain", "willow and rain". 

Ages ago, people had a habbit showing respect for natural objects as they're so valueable. We beliave the reason why Hanafuda is being so popular is admiration for the people who lived with the nature of our land.
