Reboot Coffeebar | La Divina Providencia Geisha - El Salvador

Reboot Coffeebar is a specialty light roast coffee shop located in the Chuo Ginza shopping district of Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, Japan.

Reboot is run by our new friend Toshiki. It is here in his little cafe that his passion and dedication comes through with each bean roasted and served. We found him through our family in Japan.

Always in search of not only the best coffee in the world, but the most passion driven and dedicated individuals that continue to push this industry further and further with their hard work. 

The coffee is roasted and extracted under the theme of 'coffee as a luxury item' and is not bitter or smoky, allowing you to enjoy the fruity and wonderful flavor inherent to high-quality specialty coffee.

REBOOT

Takasaki Chuo Shopping Street, where Reboot Coffeebar is located, once flourished as the center of Takasaki.

However, although it is currently one of the prefecture's most lively entertainment districts at night, it is quiet during the day and is known as a shuttered district.

We hope that young people will once again gather in this shopping district and bring it back to life. 

With this in mind, we named our store REBOOT.

One of Japan's newest and most promising young roasters. Thank you Toshi-san.

Finca La Divina Providencia / Roberto Samuel Ulloa Vilanova

La Divina Providencia from El Salvador is a fantastic representation of coffee from the Apaneca Llamatepec Mountain range, within the slopes of the Santa Ana Volcano.

Roberto Samuel Ulloa Vilanova bought La Divina Providencia ten years ago. When Roberto took over the farm, the land and trees were in poor condition having been abandoned in previous years because the low coffee prices in El Salvador at that time drove the farm out of production. Since buying the farm, Roberto has rejuvenated the land and trees, planted over 8000 Bourbon and Kenya varietals on an additional plot and installed a complete washed‐process mill and drying screens. The farm and processing facilities have had a total overhaul and the improvement in production and quality is remarkable.

Besides the blissful terroir and climate, there are three main activities that have improved the quality of the farm considerably in the past: the plants are enormously strengthened by the use of Huisil, an organic fertilizer that consist of bone meal, organ/gut meal, chicken manure, coffee pulp, soap stone, calcium carbonate, and salt. Roberto also implemented an adequate preventive disease control for Roya and Anthracnose (Dieback disease) together with an aggressive foliar nutritional program. Finally he uses biological compounds and products consisting of a variety of different species of bacteria and bacillus. These ensure an adequate control of harmful insect larvea and nematodes.

There is a meticulous picking initiative on the farm, together with a hand sorting system practiced in the fields before the cherries make it to the processing mill. This is a natural processed lot, sundried and stored waiting for the moisture content of the beans to come down before shipment.
