Reboot Coffeebar | Fabio Nelson Chiroso - 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.

Fabio Nelson / Finca Granito de Oro

Located at an altitude of 1,950 meters, surrounded by the magnificent mountains of Urrao, Finca Granito de Oro, which Fabio Nelson inherited from his father, is known for producing excellent coffee. With the promise that his father taught him that "the value of hard work is the golden grain (Granito de Oro)," Fabio continues to produce excellent coffee on his family's land. The farm mainly grows Chiroso varieties and is blessed with a rich natural environment where diverse wildlife lives. This coffee was selected as a finalist in Colombia's prestigious Land of Diversity competition for two consecutive years, and its high quality and the farm's efforts have been recognized.

Chiroso

Chiroso is a variety that is said to have a lineage of the native Ethiopian species, and is characterized by its beautiful acidity and wonderful flavor. It has been cultivated for a long time in the Urrao region of Antioquia, Colombia, due to its stable yield, resistance to cold, and ease of cultivation at high altitudes. Chiroso has attracted attention from roasters and baristas in recent years due to its excellent cup quality, and many lots that have been submitted with Chiroso have won prizes at the Cup of Excellence Colombia (COE) in recent years. In 2014 and 2020, the Chiroso Washed variety from Antioquia won the COE.

Washed Extended Fermentation (120h Aerobic)

This coffee is processed through the traditional Colombian washed process. Ripe coffee cherries are carefully selected by hand and first undergo a de-fruiting process to remove the skin. Next, the cherries with the mucilage still attached are placed in open stainless steel tanks and fermented aerobically for 120 hours to break down the mucilage. After fermentation is complete, the mucilage is completely washed away with water to give the beans a clean flavour. The beans with the parchment still attached are then dried for 4-5 days and kept under control until the moisture content reaches 10-12%.
