Gakken Coffee
A special cup that cheers on learning.
Welcome to the world of Gakken Coffee.
Gakken Coffee is a special drip-bag coffee that brings together the philosophy of "The Five Secrets of Gakken Kyoshitsu", packed with methods that help children come to love studying, and the rich time a cup of coffee brings.
Turn one minute before class or during preparation into "the aroma of motivation". We designed a flavor that sharpens focus and calms the mind.
The rounded sweetness and moderate body of a gentle medium-dark roast quietly help you switch gears during a busy day.
About the blend
Roasted to a "gentle medium-dark", one step lighter than a typical dark roast. It achieves the calm, vibrant, fruit-like aroma unique to specialty coffee, which lingers even as it cools. A rounded sweetness and a body that is neither too strong nor too light carry through pleasantly.
🇧🇷 Daterra Farm, Brazil
Beans from a renowned, internationally acclaimed farm. Honey-like sweetness with a toasty aroma reminiscent of chocolate and nuts. Gentle acidity and a smooth mouthfeel give the whole blend stability and roundness.
🇨🇴 El Paraíso Farm, Colombia
An up-and-coming farm creating original coffees through precise fermentation control. Known for vibrant, complex aromas like lychee, white grape and plum. These beans add surprise, delight and "the aroma of motivation" to the blend.

A tip from the pros
Before brewing hot coffee, try "preheating": warm your cup or glass with a little hot water. For iced coffee, try brewing with very hot water over rock ice (please use a heat-resistant glass). Just one small extra step keeps it delicious to the last sip.
