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☕
★★★★★オーガニックに力を入れて豆を仕入れられてます。 初めは、コーヒーの淹れ方、機材の購入すらわからなかった状態で伺わせてもらいました。 何もわからなかった僕に親切に教えて頂き、とても助かりました。 ここの豆で作るコーヒーはとても美味しいです。 これからもよろしくお願いします😊
★★★★★なんて言うんでしょう、小規模の事務所がずらっと並んだ市場のような(市場では無い)エリアの一角に店舗が。 妻が妊娠中からここのデカフェコーヒーを飲んでおり大変気に入っております。 直売所があると言うことで初めて行ってみました。 コーヒーの焙煎の良い香りが、、、 またお邪魔します
★★★★★20201207 再訪 早々に、2回目の訪問です。 今回は、有給休暇を頂いたので、 このチャンスで、珈琲豆追加購入です。 今回は、前回購入していない種類2種類を購入。 これで、デカフェ以外はコンプリートです。 サンプルで、デカフェも頂きました。 充実のコーヒーライフが過ごせます。 ありがとうございます。 20201203 初訪問 月曜日と木曜日に直売されているとの情報をインスタで拝見して、訪問しました。 焙煎所の付近は、珈琲の香りがしていい匂いです。初めて訪問しましたが、焙煎したての珈琲豆を購入出来て大満足です。 平日のみの販売の為、なかなか伺う事が難しいですが、また伺います。

Don't Give Up on Coffee! Discover the Richness Decaf Coffee Beans Can Bring
Many people share concerns like, I want to drink delicious coffee, but I'm worried about caffeine, I want to limit caffeine because I'm pregnant, or I want to relax with a warm coffee before bed. While the effects of caffeine vary from person to person, it's a bit sad to have to give up your favorite coffee because of it.
However, rest assured. By choosing high-quality decaf coffee beans, you can fully enjoy the rich flavor and aroma unique to specialty coffee without worrying about caffeine. We are committed to overturning the notion that decaf means inferior taste, offering a thoroughly quality-focused selection of decaf coffee beans.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals who want to limit caffeine intake.
- Those sensitive to caffeine who experience palpitations or sleeplessness.
- Anyone who wants to enjoy coffee during an afternoon break or for evening relaxation.
- Those who love the flavor of coffee but want to avoid caffeine.
SlowCoffee Roastery's direct-sale decaf coffee beans are confidently recommended for all these individuals.
Savor Coffee Without Caffeine Concerns! SlowCoffee Roastery's Direct-Sale Decaf Coffee Beans
The Secret to High-Quality Decaf
Our decaf coffee beans are carefully selected to ensure that the bean's original flavor is not compromised during the decaffeination process. With over 20 years of roasting experience, we meticulously roast them to maximize their characteristics. As a result, even without caffeine, you can fully experience the complex aroma, rich body, and pleasant aftertaste that you expect from specialty coffee.
- Even without caffeine, we do not compromise on flavor.
- We receive joyful feedback from pregnant customers who say it's delicious.
- You can try our high-quality decaf starting from ¥900 for 100g.
In What Scenarios Should You Choose Decaf?
Decaf coffee is no longer just an option for avoiding caffeine. We propose a new coffee experience that can be enjoyed freely, adapted to your lifestyle.
- For evening relaxation: Enjoy a warm, comforting coffee at the end of the day without worrying about caffeine.
- For pregnant or breastfeeding individuals: Savor your favorite coffee with peace of mind, without concerns about its effect on your baby.
- For entertaining guests: Serve it without hesitation, even when you don't know your guests' preferences or during evening hours.
- For pairing with desserts: Gentle on the stomach and maintains flavor balance when enjoyed with rich sweets or light snacks.
Decaf and Seasonal Pairings
Decaf coffee beans also offer various ways to enjoy them depending on the season. For instance, on hot summer days, a refreshing iced decaf will quench your thirst and invigorate you. On cold winter nights, adding milk to make a café au lait will warm both your body and soul. Pairing with seasonal ingredient-based sweets can create an even richer coffee experience. Our decaf has ample flavor on its own, but we roast it to ensure its deliciousness stands out even when adapted.
Experience Coffee That Reflects the Changing Seasons
While coffee can be enjoyed year-round, changing how you savor it with the shifting seasons adds another layer of enjoyment. At SlowCoffee Roastery Direct Sales, we support your desire to try new coffees, from popular standard beans to unique seasonal ways to enjoy them.
A Special Cup for Each Season
While we don't specifically offer limited-edition seasonal menu beans, dark roasted beans, for example, bring a warming flavor during chilly seasons, while light-roasted, fruity beans offer a perfect refreshment for the season of fresh greenery or the beginning of summer. Our Yirgacheffe and natural process beans, highly acclaimed in reviews, are flavors loved by many regardless of the season, but by adjusting your brewing method to suit the climate and mood of the time, they reveal even different facets.
- In spring, take a stroll in a blooming park with an aromatic coffee in hand.
- In summer, refresh yourself with a cooling cold brew coffee.
- In autumn, enjoy a calm, rich-bodied cup that evokes the deepening season.
- In winter, warm your body and soul with a hot coffee for a tranquil moment.
Seasonal Presentation to Enjoy at Home
When brewing coffee at home, why not incorporate a sense of the season? For instance, in summer, enjoy cold iced coffee or coffee jelly; in winter, add spices to hot coffee or combine it with warm milk. The beans we provide are of high quality, capable of accommodating any arrangement.
- A refreshing summer cup: Iced coffee, coffee float, cold brew coffee, and other cooling arrangements.
- A cup that reflects the deepening autumn: A mellow flavor paired with autumn treats like marron glacé or apple pie.
- A warming winter cup: Warm your body from within with a rich café latte using plenty of milk, or a mocha combined with chocolate.
We are committed to providing the best coffee experience in every season, from bean selection and roasting to advice on brewing methods.
