FINETIME Coffee Roasters | Ipanema - Brazil

FINETIME Coffee Roasters

Owned and operated by Takeshi Kondo, this small cafe and roastery has been serving up specialty light roast coffee in Kyodo, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, since 2016.

We roast the highest quality raw beans in a way that brings out the original characteristics of the beans. Experience a new coffee taste with a clean acidity and sweetness like fruit.

We purchase from micromill producers in Central America and from Nordic Approach in South America and Africa. Enjoy a variety of specialty coffees that vary depending on the season.

We use a Diedrich 5kg roaster to bring out the fruity flavor without the bitterness that coffee originally has. We record the roasting profile daily and always strive to roast consistently.

Owner Takeshi is a certified coffee master and Q grader, and won third place in the 2016 Japan Aeropress Championship. We will also give you advice on how to brew, so please feel free to ask us.

Ipanema

The prestigious Ipanema Farm achieved the remarkable feat of winning first place in two categories at the 2023 Cup of Excellence (coffee competition). Ipanema Farm's coffee beans are divided into editions based on their scores, and this lot is the highest-ranking Blue Edition with an SCA score of 87 points or higher. It employs innovative new processes in all stages of harvesting, processing, and drying to improve quality. After the acidity of orange and berries, a sweetness reminiscent of blackcurrant, prune, and liqueur follows.
