Started as a small home roasting coffee shop in western suburb of Tokyo, (our main office/roastery is based in the central area).
We have been featured by the best coffee shops in the world and loved by so many coffee enthusiasts.
Our coffees are cupped by the roaster and 2 cuppers, introducing us below.
We are always aiming to enhance the best possible brightness that we see as the terroir by the roast development. As we used to roast classical espresso coffees(especially blends) in the very beginning, we are trying to bring each coffees's potential sweetness to achieve omni roast. Every single batch is roasted by our roaster/founder, using CoffedSR5 classic drum roaster with a unique profile that is inspired by thousands batches of roasting experience in modern specialty coffee and classic espresso roasting, that especially focuses on drum rolling speed and airflow setting.

We love all those delicious coffees yet we would say Apollon's Gold team is a big fan of micro climate: always trying our hardest to bring the best out of each terroir. We see that especially when the cultivar matches the land perfectly. Mainly sourcing bright washed coffees along side some delicate natural process coffees that would make the terroir shine. We are especially enthusiastic to source classic coffees (Brazil naturals, Costa Rica honey and most washed coffees) as we believe that those coffees would represent our roasting style and philosophy the best. Of course we are always looking to introduce some outstanding/competition style coffees from all over the world regardless of the processing and cultivar!
