The Taste of Philosophy Woven into Every Everyday Moment With the cooperation of Taiki Ide (EDIT COFFEE ROASTERY: USUDA, Saku City), who holds an international coffee appraiser qualification, we offer a completely new coffee experience that expresses the philosopher's philosophy through coffee blends. A unique attempt to savor the grand "philosophy" that has colored human thought and history in a single bowl of everyday life. Enjoy a rich moment of deep reflection with a cup of coffee in hand. |Phase 2: Blending Ancient Eastern Thought| In its second installment, we explore the origins of the 'Three Teachings' (Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism) that formed the spiritual foundation of East Asia and us Japanese, in 'Blending Ancient Eastern Thought: Seekers of the Way.' The "attitude of living" of three sages who lived through turbulent times is recreated in a unique blend. ・Laozi – Non-action Nature – It expresses the philosophy of abandoning artificial creation and living as nature is. Floral and clean tropical scents of Peru and Ethiopia lead to spiritual liberation, while accents of Chinese Yunnan beans create a sense of "chaotic" depth. Though complex, it finishes with a light aftertaste that leaves a clear, water-like finish. ・Confucius – Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, and Wisdom – Expressing a dignified order that values human love and social norms. Within a traditional balance of roasted nuts based on dark roasts from Peru and Guatemala, a brown spice that evokes the rigor of self-discipline is presented. A refined drink with the freshness of Ethiopia. ・The Buddha – Bliss of Extinction It expresses the peace of mind that lies beyond facing the 'suffering' of life and letting go of attachments. Luxuriously used with three different types of dark roast beans (Brazil, Guatemala, India). From deep within the heavy bitterness, the subtle sweetness (mercy) of the natural Indian process of winey and creamy spreads. The more you drink, the deeper the flavor sinks deep inside. |Our Thoughts| The Asama foothill area, where we operate, is a city blessed with abundant water resources and beautiful nature, where passion for craftsmanship thrives. While meeting Mr. Ide, who held philosophy book clubs here and carefully selected coffees from around the world and pursued roasting, I thought, "Through coffee, can we create a richer and more fulfilling time for the heart?" What led to this was the fusion with the "philosophy" that humanity had long questioned. Precisely because modern society changes rapidly, the time spent facing the thoughts of the sages of the past and confronting oneself feels especially cherished. A glass that lets you experience Eastern wisdom through all five senses. Enjoy a special moment that deepens your thinking with a handful of 'Asama Tetsu Tetsu Coffee.' ーーー This product is a drip pack type that allows you to easily enjoy authentic flavors at home or in the office.
