About This Coffee

A single origin coffee from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, grown at 1700–1800 meters above sea level by producer Juan Vargas Ramirez. The varieties are Caturra and Bourbon, processed using the Double Soaked Washed method. The cup offers a refreshing orange-like acidity with a heavy body reminiscent of milk chocolate sweetness, along with notes of brown sugar. With aging, the acidity softens and an apple crumble-like aftertaste develops.

Freak Coffee Roasters

Freak Coffee Roasters operates from the Fujigaoka area of Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, a short walk from Fujigaoka Station, specializing exclusively in light roast specialty coffee with an emphasis on rare varieties and special processing methods not commonly found in typical Japanese cafes. The founders traveled extensively through Europe, Australia, and across Japan studying coffee culture before opening the roastery, and the name Freak reflects their self described identity as extreme coffee enthusiasts whose passion borders on obsession. The roastery sources coffees including prized Geisha varieties and experimentally processed lots, bringing world coffee standards into daily life through an approach that treats specialty coffee less as a luxury and more as something accessible to everyone. Freak welcomes a broad community including families with children and offers student discounts, pairing its coffees with house made banana bread, cheesecake, and pudding. The mission centers on helping people discover the diversity of coffee flavors the way a wine lover might explore different grape varieties and terroirs, making Nagoya's Fujigaoka neighborhood an unexpected destination for some of the most adventurous specialty coffee in the Aichi region.
