Teacoffee was created by combining fine tea of Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, and quality coffee carefully selected from coffee producers around the world. For the tea leaves, rare organically grown Uji-cha tea leaves used for organic products are chosen for their sweetness and umami flavor. For the coffee, select coffee beans such as fair trade beans and 100% Arabica species are blended and then roasted by a professional roaster in Nishijin, Kyoto, to carefully draw out their aroma, richness and flavor. As it took two years to realize the best combination of tea taste and coffee flavor, Teacoffee is a great match with both Japanese and Western confections. This innovative Japan-made coffee, already highly rated by foreign coffee professionals, may serve as a bridge between Japanese and Western cultures.
