Works Blend

The blend concept is "Your Companion at Work"

Base Coffee offers a variety of blends, such as coffee perfect for the morning, coffee that pairs well with sweets, and coffee ideal for a break. When creating a new blend to add to this lineup, the concept we aimed for was "a coffee that can be a companion for tasks such as work or study."

I believe many people immerse themselves in their work while sitting at their desks, coffee in hand. I am one of them.

When considering what kind of coffee would be best for such tasks, ease of drinking was the first thing that came to mind.

Through trial and error with blend components, ratios, and roasting levels, we created a coffee with a moderate richness and gentle sweetness that spreads from the moment it touches your palate, followed by a clean aftertaste. It’s a coffee designed to be so easy to drink that you’ll naturally reach for it again and again during your work, without interrupting your flow.

Mild Roast (medium-dark roast) Coffee

The characteristics of our mild roast coffee are its "mildness" and "sweetness."

For mild roast coffee, it is very important to balance richness, acidity, and sweetness.

Furthermore, this blend is roasted just a little lighter to allow a refreshing flavor to linger in the aftertaste.

We carefully determine the roasting time to ensure it remains easy to drink while preventing the refreshing notes from becoming too strong.

Changes in aroma during the roasting process

From the start to the end of roasting, the aroma of the coffee beans changes moment by moment.

There are several critical points of change, and missing these points can significantly impact quality.

To ensure we never miss detecting these aromas, we pay close attention to our physical condition, avoiding strong-smelling foods (such as onions and garlic). We make these efforts as minimum precautions for a roaster, striving for daily quality control.

Quality Control

At Base Coffee, we conduct a quality check after every roast.

Especially during seasonal changes, it is essential to review the roasting process due to fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

"Cupping" is the quality check that allows us to detect these changes.

We believe that by repeatedly and diligently performing daily cupping to notice subtle changes in taste and feeding that information back into the roasting process, we can deliver consistent quality.
