Experience the Flavors of Ethiopia with FamilyMart's New Mocha Blend!
FamilyMart, a well-known convenience store chain in Japan, is thrilled to announce the launch of its exclusive "New Mocha Blend" starting September 16, 2025. This unique blend features newly harvested, top-grade Ethiopian coffee beans sourced from the renowned Yirgacheffe region. Designed to bring customers joy under their initiative "Your Delight," this offering will be available at approximately 16,000 stores nationwide, excluding Okinawa.
An Expected Return of the New Mocha Blend
This year's release of the "New Mocha Blend" continues the success of last year's popular "FAMIMA CAFÉ" offerings. Just like new rice or freshly picked tea, coffee beans also have a distinct season of freshness. The latest blend showcases beans harvested between December 2024 and March 2025, creating a special tasting experience available only during this period.
The significant feature of this blend is the utilization of the highest grade Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans, making up 60% of the blend. After being harvested, these beans arrived in Japan in July 2025 and underwent a meticulous roasting process in local factories. This process, known as "Fragrant Roasting," aims to extract maximum aroma, utilizing a high-temperature, short-time roasting method that quickly breaks down the cell structure of the beans to release more aromatic compounds into each cup of coffee.
