Customer reviews★★★★★定期的に利用してます。エクアドル深煎りは絶品ですよ。これに奮発してグラインダー上位クラス買いましたが正解でした。豆のポテンシャルが発揮されて更にリピ確定です。値上げにもめげず💪
★★★★★ここのコーヒー豆はおいしい。いくつか都内のスペシャルティコーヒーを飲んだけど個人的には1番好き。千葉の水は硬度が高くえぐみが出やすいです。お湯の温度と水の硬度を調整するとすごくおいしい。おいしいコーヒーを飲みたい人は試しましょう。ちなみにわたしが好きなのはイルガチェフ ナチュラルです。ご参考でした。
★★★★★オーガニックで最高に美味しい珈琲豆が購入できます。お勧めです☕

SlowCoffee Roastery Direct Sale's Challenge: Dispelling the Misconception that Decaf Isn't Delicious
Secrets of High-Quality Decaf Coffee Beans
The decaf coffee beans offered by SlowCoffee Roastery Direct Sale are not just simply decaffeinated. We are committed to fair trade and organic practices, using carefully selected, high-quality specialty coffee beans from around the world.
- Processing Methods That Preserve Bean Flavor: To ensure the bean's inherent flavor isn't lost during decaffeination, we carefully select beans that have undergone safe, low-impact processes like the water process. This method effectively retains the coffee's original sweetness, acidity, and body.
- Roasting Expertise Cultivated Over 20+ Years: Even the finest green beans can have their character significantly altered by roasting. Our roasters, with over 20 years of experience, meticulously identify the unique characteristics of each decaf bean and roast them to maximize their rich, inherent flavors. The techniques perfected with our highly-rated Yirgacheffe and natural process beans are generously applied to our decaf offerings.
- Providing Freshly Roasted Beans: Like regular coffee beans, freshness is paramount for decaf. SlowCoffee Roastery Direct Sale sells freshly roasted beans directly, allowing you to enjoy the best aroma and taste at home anytime.
Our decaf, highly praised by pregnant women, will surely be a satisfying cup for anyone who wishes to enjoy coffee's rich flavor to the fullest without worrying about caffeine.
Seasonal Decaf Delights: Enriching Your Coffee Life Throughout the Year
Spring: Light Decaf for a Feeling of New Beginnings
- Recommended Brewing Method: As spring begins to warm, we recommend brewing light-roasted decaf beans with a French press to bring out their bright acidity and fruitiness.
- Pairing: It pairs excellently with spring-like sweets, both Japanese and Western, such as seasonal strawberry tarts or sakura mochi.
Summer: Refreshing Iced Decaf to Quench Your Thirst
- Recommended Brewing Method: For hot summers, cold brew iced coffee is ideal. Pour strongly brewed decaf over a glass full of ice, or enjoy cold brew decaf slowly extracted with water beforehand – it's surprisingly mellow and allows you to drink freely without caffeine concerns.
- Pairing: Enjoy it with refreshing desserts like fresh fruit jellies or chilled warabi mochi.
Autumn: Fragrant Decaf for the Deepening Season
- Recommended Brewing Method: On long autumn evenings, why not carefully brew dark-roasted decaf with a hand drip? The slowly extracted aroma creates a pleasant, cozy atmosphere.
- Pairing: It pairs exceptionally well with quintessential autumn sweets like Mont Blanc made with chestnuts or pumpkin, and sweet potatoes.
Winter: Heartwarming, Blissful Decaf Latte
- Recommended Brewing Method: On chilly winter days, a decaf espresso-based caffè latte or cappuccino will warm you from the inside out. Adding cinnamon or cocoa powder is also recommended.
- Pairing: Pair it with rich, warm desserts like chocolate cake, stollen, or baked goods for a luxurious moment.
Thus, decaf coffee beans can present various facets depending on the season and your mood. At SlowCoffee Roastery Direct Sale, we offer free advice on selecting and brewing decaf tailored to each customer's preferences. Please feel free to consult us about delicious brewing methods that minimize bitterness, taking into account Chiba's water quality (which tends to be high in hardness).
