FINETIME Coffee Roasters | Nicaragua - La Bendicion

FINETIME Coffee Roasters

Owned and operated by Takeshi Kondo, this small cafe and roastery has been serving up specialty lightroast 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.

La Benedicion

La Bendicion Farm in Nueva Segovia is a famous farm that won first place in the 2018 COE (Cup Of Excellence). The owner, Luis Balladarez, has transitioned from a refining and processing company to farm management, and has reformed many farms into excellent farms. This coffee, made using the natural Pacamara method, is a wonderful coffee with a very rich, long finish, accompanied by sweet, ripe strawberries, cherries, prunes, fermented red wine, and chocolate sweetness.
