Reboot Coffeebar | La Riviera 'Purple Passion' - Colombia

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 Riviera 

Located on the slopes of the central Andes in Pereira, Risaralda Department, Colombia, La Riviera has been cultivating coffee for three generations, preserving tradition while actively incorporating advanced fermentation techniques.

'Purple Passion'

Purple Passion is an infused lot using Castillo and Caturra. It features a unique fermentation process called Bioreactor Co-Fermentation, which uses ripe fruit and microorganisms. After a 10-12 hour oxidation process, it is transferred to a sealed bioreactor. Starter culture, yeast, and ripe fruit are added, and nitrogen is added to create an oxygen-free environment. During fermentation, temperature, pH, and Brix (sugar content) are meticulously controlled to achieve the desired flavor.

It boasts a vibrant fruitiness reminiscent of passion fruit and lychee, along with a rich sweetness like butter, butterscotch, and caramelization. A creamy texture and tropical aftertaste combine to create a unique cup that is characteristic of La Riviera.
