A Sustainable Delight: The Launch of 'Las Nubes'

On January 13, 2026, Coffee Kan, a brand under C-United Co., Ltd., is set to unveil its new sustainable coffee offering, 'Guatemala Las Nubes'. This limited-time coffee boasts a distinctive flavor profile reminiscent of chocolate, making it an exciting addition for coffee enthusiasts.

A Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

Coffee Kan is known for its commitment to sourcing high-quality beans from sustainable farms. 'Las Nubes', which translates to 'the clouds' in Spanish, is cultivated in a region that ranges from 1,300 to 1,800 meters above sea level, characterized by high humidity and frequent cloud coverage. This environment contributes to its unique flavor: a mild and smooth coffee experience with minimal bitterness, ideal for novice coffee drinkers.

The company has invested in fostering inclusivity and sustainability by establishing a roasting facility where the CU Crew—comprised of individuals from diverse backgrounds—skillfully roasts the beans. This effort not only supports the growth of a sustainable coffee business but also embraces the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I).

Flavor Notes and Ideal Pairings

The 'Guatemala Las Nubes' coffee is celebrated for its sweet, roasted aroma and gentle taste, providing a pleasant finish that captivates the palate. To enhance the tasting experience, specialty pairings have been recommended by the product development team: enjoy this coffee with 'Traditional Hotcakes with Whipped Cream' or 'Apple Chiboust Cake'. The sweet flavors of the hotcakes complement the coffee's smoothness, while the cake's balanced creaminess works perfectly to highlight the coffee's mild acidity.

• - Traditional Hotcakes: These golden pancakes are made one by one on a copper plate, offering a nostalgic taste and a delightful texture—crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
• - Apple Chiboust Cake: This luxurious treat features a moist sponge cake layered with diced apples, custard, chiboust mousse, and meringue, encapsulating the sweetness and slight tartness of apples.

Celebrating Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Day

In conjunction with the launch of 'Las Nubes', Coffee Kan will celebrate Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Day from January 8 to 12, 2026, offering special discounts on 'Blue Mountain 100%' coffee. This annual event commemorates the historic shipment of Blue Mountain coffee to Japan that started on January 9, 1967. During this period, customers can purchase the premium 'Blue Mountain No.1' at a reduced price, allowing coffee lovers to indulge in this highly sought-after brew.

Additionally, a special discussion featuring Jamaican Ambassador to Japan, Shauna-Kay M. Richards, and C-United’s CEO, Yuki Tomonari, will be available on the brand's website, providing further insights into the wonderful world of coffee.
