“What if there are things out there so good like these coffee beans?”
Brewing coffee with new beans that I've never tried before is one of life's pleasures for me. Today, I brewed coffee with beans from Kurasu, a specialty coffee shop and roastery in Kyoto. "Kurasu" comes from the Japanese word meaning "to live" or "lifestyle." They started as a small online homeware shop back in 2013.
About a month ago, my friend Soli brought me coffee beans she got during her trip to Japan. After tasting the coffee I brewed with the beans, I couldn't wait to learn more about this coffee shop and what they offer.
The coffee beans I used today are Kurasu's House Blend. With a sweet aroma, it offers flavors of orange, cacao, dried prune, and caramel. It's a medium roast, which I often choose for my daily cup of coffee. What I love most about these medium roast beans is that they provide a very clean, simple cup of coffee instead of a mix of different tastes. I tend to prefer sweetness over acidity, and this House Blend from Kurasu creates a subtle, not overwhelming, orange flavor, making the coffee even more enjoyable.
Here are the details about the beans:
