【June Limited】CHOUREN Blend ~蝶恋~

Within the deck of Hanafuda cards,

the card for the colorful month of June stands out:

“牡丹に蝶 / Botan ni Chou” (The Peony and the Butterfly.)

Used also as a design for family crests,

peonies and butterflies have long been seen

as auspicious symbols of wealth, nobility, and longevity.

The peony(牡丹), with its grand and vibrant blossoms,

is considered a symbol of beauty.

The butterfly(蝶), fluttering and dancing,

Epitomizes both transience and allure.

Inspired by the combined vibrancy and allure of these two,

we present our blend, "蝶恋."

A coffee with sweet and vibrant berry flavors that fill your mouth,

followed by the refreshing scent and acidity reminiscent of peaches.

Even the air that escapes to your nose

will be a delightful experience.

During the damp period of the rainy season,

Please enjoy a moment of brightness with our vibrant coffee time.

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.
