【November Limited】RYUFU Blend ~柳風~

November
柳風（りゅうふう）

This blend is inspired by the anecdote of Ono no Michikaze,
a figure who laid the foundation for Japanese calligraphy and is referred to as one of the Three Masterpieces of Calligraphy (Sanseki).

Michikaze, observing a frog
desperately leaping to catch hold of a willow tree,
found inspiration in its relentless efforts. 

Despite the seemingly reckless attempt,
a gust of wind coincidentally swayed the willow,
allowing the frog to successfully leap onto it.

Feeling stuck in his own artistic talents,
Michikaze drew courage from the seemingly impossible
endeavor of the frog.

 He realized he had not exerted the same level of effort
and determination, leading him to continue his calligraphic studies. 

Eventually, Michikaze became a renowned calligrapher of the Heian period.

The blend "November Breeze" captures the crisp
and invigorating winter atmosphere,
reminiscent of Michikaze's determined spirit.
It expresses the beauty of a chilly yet clear day
and Michikaze's radiant heart.

The base of this blend features a refreshing taste akin to pear and lime,
gradually expanding to reveal the concentrated
and rich aromas of grapes and peach.

A blend that balances a refreshing quality with a subtle warmth,
 "RYUFU (柳風)” encourages you to reflect on the year 

while enjoying a leisurely coffee time.
Take a deep breath and savor the flavors as you reminisce about the passing year.
