Introduction

Our thoughts on the House Blend

This is our second blend and our first non-light roast coffee.

When talking about specialty coffee, you often hear the word clean.

So what is clean?

We believe that a clean cup is one in which the individual characteristics of the material are brought out to the fullest .

If the ingredients are roasted in a way that does not damage their various flavors, the result tends to be a light roast.

On the other hand, it is also true that in the world of coffee there are various taste standards that reflect the land and climate.

The first sentence of SCAJ's definition of specialty coffee is, "Specialty coffee is coffee that the consumer (coffee drinker) judges as delicious and is satisfied with the flavor of the coffee liquid in the cup held in his/her hand."

In Kyoto, where coffee culture has been deeply rooted since ancient times, many customers come seeking dark roasts, and we felt frustrated that we could not meet their demand.

This is coffee that many customers find delicious and satisfying.

This House Blend Dark is a reflection of our respect for the coffee culture that has developed in Kyoto and the people who love it.

notice

We have recently changed the roast level indication from "medium-dark roast" to "dark roast."

There will be no significant changes to the actual roast level or flavor notes.

Considering that this coffee is roasted to the same degree as the single origin dark roast lineup that was launched last fall, we have changed the description of this coffee to also be "dark roast."

Roasting approach

This blend is a dark roast, roasted 15-17°C darker than a lighter filter roast.

Cook on medium heat for 11 minutes from start to finish.

Good coffee

Very nice flavored coffee. And the consistency is stable each time we order. Very reliable for our cafe. Thank you!

Light taste

Even though they are called dark roast, Kurasu's beans are not that dark. I've used up 250g so far, but I'm trying out different kinds. Because of the season, I can't help but make iced coffee, but I feel that these beans are not for deep richness or chocolate flavors, but for enjoying a variety of flavors such as sourness, fruitiness, and richness. Also, I've recently noticed with other beans that they taste better about 10 days or 2 weeks after roasting.

Easy to drink!

It was a dark roast, but not bitter, yet rich, mellow and easy to drink. I don't like bitter or sour flavors, so the balance was just right for me!

great for V60 and home brewing

I was looking for a blend that is unique from Kurasu, but I prefer dark roasts. It is freshly roasted and shipped right away.
I can't wait to try it using an espresso machine. I hope I can visit Kyoto soon to visit.

Refreshing

It was a dark roast, but it had a clean taste and no particular flavor, and was very pleasant to drink. I would like to buy it again.
