GREENS Coffee Roaster


Here is a hidden and sacred coffee roaster; hidden in terms of location, but not in terms of its popularity.

Greens Coffee Roaster is owned by Yasutaka Iwao, a skilled coffee roaster as well as the best SYPHONIST of Japan Barista Champion ship in 2001 and 2004. 
They closed the café section on Nov. 30, 2010, and have focused on coffee roistering/retailing from Dec.1 2010, so that Mr. Iwao rarely entertains us with his SYPHON technique and flavorful coffee now.  However, his decision on focusing on roasting business seems successful.
Although blend Coffees at Greens Coffee were well-known for a long time, they seem to have established a higher reputation since Dec. 2010.  Is it because Mr. Iwao has more time to spend with his PROBAT, German roasting Machine, or beans he selected??  There is a good enough room to play with imagination over Greens Coffee and its uprising qualities, but, besides that, it is pure pleasure to find wonderful coffees and an unmistakably wonderful roaster.  

Greens Coffee roaster sells freshly roasted single beans, so called, Specialty coffee, as well as variety of blend beans.  Greens Blend is the best for morning, especially on hot summer mornings, with its soothing taste.  Moto-ko Blend is bitter but good for Iced-coffee or latte.

Althugh Kobe is one of the best place for cafe/coffee roaster hopping and has a number of good coffee raosters, Greens coffee roaster will save your time for serching "THE BEST" coffee beans.
