Introduction

Coffee lovers rejoice! The much-acclaimed seasonal coffee, Ethiopia Mocha Shakisso, is making a comeback by popular demand. After successfully selling around 70,000 cups last summer, coffee enthusiasts can anticipate its return starting May 15 at all locations of Kohi-kan and Kohi-kan Kura across Japan.

Background of Ethiopia Mocha Shakisso

Launched in June last year, Ethiopia Mocha Shakisso is celebrated for its sustainable sourcing from single-origin farms. This summer, it continues the legacy of being a seasonal favorite as part of Kohi-kan's commitment to sustainable coffee practices. The coffee not only garnered impressive sales figures but also significant customer feedback, prompting the decision for its second round of sales.

Unique Flavor Profile

Ethiopia Mocha Shakisso stands out as a single-origin coffee, showcasing the unique qualities of its beans. Each sip reveals a delightful fusion of fresh, fruity aromas complemented by a subtle bitterness and a clean, refreshing finish. Unlike the more robust and bitter traditional charcoal ice coffee, this offering is light and fruity, making it an ideal choice for warm summer days. Cultivated in the fertile volcanic soil of Shakisso village, the coffee benefits from ample rainfall, which creates the perfect growing conditions, contributing to Ethiopia’s reputation as a premier coffee-producing country.

Moreover, the local community in Shakisso is actively involved in reforestation efforts to revive the landscapes lost to wildfires, creating job opportunities through coffee production. This sustainable approach not only nurtures the environment but also supports the community's growth.

Perfect Pairings

What better way to enjoy the refreshing Ethiopia Mocha Shakisso than with delicious food pairings? It pairs exquisitely with the Smoked Bacon B.L.T. Sandwich, where the fresh vegetable toppings enhance the coffee's flavors. The light acidity of the tomatoes harmonizes beautifully with the coffee's profile, elevating the overall experience. For dessert, we recommend pairing it with the Peach Shortcake. The sweet aroma of peach complements the coffee's fruitiness, resulting in a perfectly balanced treat.

Seasonal Coffee Concept

Kohi-kan’s seasonal coffee line showcases a variety of unique beans distinct from the regular menu offerings. By introducing coffees featuring names from their origin areas, customers can easily connect with and appreciate the diverse flavors of coffee from around the world. Expect to see three to four special editions each year that broaden the horizons of your coffee experience.
