YuzuPeach BlossomSilky OolongBrown Sugar

Founded in Oslo in 1963 and transplanted to Shibuya's quiet Tomigaya quarter in 2012, Fuglen Tokyo blends traditional Japanese kissaten vinyl culture with pioneer Nordic ultra-light roasting. Head Roaster Kenji Kojima sources single-lot Ethiopian heirlooms, roasting every Wednesday on a vintage 1956 Probat UG15. The result is a cup of pristine tea-like elegance, bursting with jasmine perfume and sparkling citrus clarity.

Barista Dialing Protocol

Recommended Brew Parameters

Crafted specifically by Kissa Fuglen Roastery's head roaster to unlock optimum extraction from these high-density beans.

Brew Ratio: 1:17.5 (15g coffee / 260g water)
Water Temperature: 96°C – 98°C
Grind Size: Medium-Fine (Kalita / V60)
Bloom Technique: 45s with 45g water, gentle swirl
Target Drawdown: 2:45 – 3:15
Resting Window: 21–28 days post-roast (Peak extraction after CO2 degassing)

Scientific Degassing Note

Why 2–4 Weeks of Degassing Matters

Ultra-light roasts preserve delicate cellular density. Brewing within the first 10 days leads to CO2 channeling and sharp carbonic acidity. For peak floral sweetness and silky mouthfeel, rest these beans for 14 to 28 days post-roast.
