Coffee benas from South Korea!
In these days, so called "third wave coffee" has boomed in South Korea as well as China in recent years. On COE auction, some Korean buysers as well as Japanese buyser to export South Korea has often found. There were many "Starbucks" in Seoul, but more individual cafe's hidden, which posts "SPECIALTY COFFEE" signs. I enjoyed micro-farms and COE "hand brew" and "espresso" while in Korea as I do in US and other coutries. However, at the same time, I wonder how coffee had been before this "third wave" boom.
This beans was found in Paju Provence Village in North Korea.(→) Paju Province Village is known as "flower garden" as well as "foodie paradise". Unfortunately, there were not enough evidence collected to prove the latter, but there is a bag catchy enough.Strictly talking about this blend, roasting technique may resembles to Japanese before "Seattle style" and "Specialty": light roast, high quality of green beans. If green beans has full flavor and higher quality, dark/deep roast is not necessary. If space is limited, roasting machine tends to be smaller and so does roasting portion. This Vivaldi blend may remind us of factors make a cup wonderful.
