Decaf Premium Blend (Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia)

USD $35.00
Quick view

The secret behind Sapporo Coffee Kan’s original Caffeine-off blend lies in a groundbreaking German method called the "Liquid Dicarboxylic Acid Extraction Method," which removes 93–98% of caffeine while preserving the coffee’s original flavor, aroma, and richness. Unlike conventional decaf processes that strip away essential taste components, this technique uses a careful combination of low pressure and temperature over an extended period, ensuring the coffee’s delicious character remains intact. The beans are then roasted using Sapporo Coffee Kan’s unique CSR (Charcoal Straight Roasting) method, minimizing oxidation and preserving the coffee’s vibrant profile. As a result, this decaf coffee is so flavorful and satisfying that it is served at high-end restaurants with evening desserts, offering a true specialty coffee experience for caffeine-sensitive individuals, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and anyone advised to reduce caffeine intake.

Brazil Cerrado - Arabica Catuai

USD $35.00 USD $24.99
Quick view

This exclusive contract farm coffee from Brazil’s Cerrado region comes from the Shimada Plantation, managed by third-generation Japanese American coffee producer Hugo Shimada. Since 2018, a direct partnership has connected us to this farm, located in the Patrocínio municipality of Minas Gerais, a renowned area for producing exceptional coffee. To preserve the beans' natural sweetness and distinctive character, the coffee is processed using the natural method, allowing the beans to stay in contact with the ripened cherry longer and absorb its rich flavors. Stored carefully and aged in the cherry form, this process brings out a deep, sweet, and vibrant profile in every cup. To ensure even higher quality, production is limited to a select 247-hectare area, capturing the true individuality and excellence of the Cerrado terroir.
