The Value of a Cup That Fair Trade Coffee Delivers

All the coffee beans we handle are fair trade certified and organic certified, having met strict standards. Fair trade is an international movement that supports producers in trading at fair prices and operating sustainable agriculture. This contributes to environmental protection in the producing regions and ultimately improves the quality of the coffee delivered to our customers.

Choosing a cup of coffee can lead to someone's smile on the other side of the world and contribute to protecting the global environment. It's precisely because coffee holds such heartwarming stories that its taste is also exceptional. Our coffee is a special cup that balances both deliciousness and kindness.

The Secret to High-Quality Beans Fostered by Fair Trade

The fair trade system enables producers to earn stable incomes, allowing them to invest in quality improvement and explore better cultivation methods. This is a crucial element supporting the quality of the specialty coffee we proudly offer.

• Improved livelihoods and stability for producers
• Promotion of sustainable farming practices
• Consideration for the global environment
• Resulting in flavorful, high-quality coffee

Achieve the Best Flavor with Chiba Water! Brewing Methods for Home and Decaf Recommendations

Have you ever felt, Why doesn't the coffee I brew at home taste like the coffee shop's? In fact, water is a crucial factor that significantly influences the taste of coffee. Chiba's water, in particular, has a relatively high hardness, which can sometimes lead to a bitter taste in coffee. We offer free, specific advice to help solve such problems.

Furthermore, for those who wish to limit caffeine or enjoy coffee at night, we offer a wide selection of flavorful decaffeinated coffee beans. They are very popular among pregnant individuals, allowing them to enjoy their coffee time with peace of mind.

Advice for Brewing Delicious Coffee

To brew the best coffee at home, consider the following points:

1. Water Selection and Temperature
   Considering Chiba's water hardness, choosing mineral water is one approach. Adjusting the water temperature according to the bean type and roast level is crucial. We provide specific advice on temperature and extraction time tailored to the water quality you use.
2. Utilizing Brewing Equipment
   The taste varies significantly depending on the brewing method, such as hand drip or French press. Please feel free to consult us on which equipment suits your preferences and how to brew deliciously. We can also guide you to the optimal brewing equipment.
3. Choosing Fresh Beans
   Coffee flavor changes over time after roasting. We sell freshly roasted beans directly, so you can take home beans in their peak condition.

Gentle on Body and Mind: Decaffeinated Coffee

Our decaf coffee boasts a rich flavor and aroma that is surprisingly full-bodied for a caffeine-free option. We carefully decaffeinate selected beans and roast them to preserve their original deliciousness. For pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those sensitive to caffeine, or anyone wishing to relax at night, decaf can open up new ways to enjoy coffee.
