Everyone's Coffee Time Newsletter Vol. 2
It is November starting today. I was vaguely thinking that it was starting to feel like autumn, but before I knew it, these days have become truly cold.
The coffee for November is “moonlight Donkey”🌕.
Please let it snuggle up next to your autumn time ☕️
Everyone's Coffee Time
I started this because I wanted to write my thoughts on the feedback articles I received for the first installment of 'Nan no Hanashi desu Coffee', 'Rwanda's Drop'. It's like an answer song, haha. Reading and re-reading each one, I have many realizations and am very grateful.
RaM-san
RaM-san started by carefully looking at the product details and letting her imagination run wild about the taste of the beans. It really came across that she was looking forward to it, and it made me grin, haha.
When I crave black coffee, I usually expect it to act as a switch to get me pumped up before doing work that requires a lot of focus, but
this Rwanda's Drop (Heartwarming Blend) is the opposite; it's a flavor I want to drink slowly, taking my time when I want to be gently at peace.
It wasn't sharp, but rounded, circulating through my body and making for a completely relaxed start to the day.
RaM-san used her sensors to pick up on the 'gentleness' of Rwanda's Drop and gave it such an exquisite description: “A coffee with deep mellowness.” Mellowness... I'm sure she felt it was round and soft. I'm so happy, thank you♡
Danke Hitsuji-san
W-wow...!! No way!! I never imagined that 'Nan no Hanashi desu Coffee' would become a manga. The creative ability and passion of the Rojiura (back-alley) residents are still far beyond what Omugi could have imagined.
She spent so much time creating a truly incredibly cute story♡ A world inspired by the seaside where TABBY's shop is located, with coffee-colored mushrooms appearing... isn't that just too wonderful?
Shiimo Takatsuka-san
Shiimo-san's article was so, so moving.
A story about family and coffee that transcends time. It is so, so warm. When Shiimo-san was a child, she turned the coffee mill with her father. And now that she is an adult, she turns the coffee mill with her own children... While brewing coffee, it's as if her heart is traveling through time and space.
Reading Shiimo-san's article, I realized that 'Nan no Hanashi desu Coffee' is definitely reaching someone's hands and becoming a part of creating someone's time. I felt that joy and emotion so, so strongly. 'Nan no Hanashi desu Coffee' is reaching many different people and spending many different times with them. I'm kind of jealous, haha.
Mosquito Eri-san
The well-known coffee ambassador of the back-alley, everyone's favorite Mosquito Eri-san. She is the one who guided me to the entrance of the back-alley when I was muttering in a corner of note, 'Someone please drink my husband's coffee~'.
Eri-san is a very sensitive person, and she expressed herself so wonderfully not only about Rwanda's Drop but also when she drank TABBY's coffee for the first time. I'm embarrassed that I can only say 'wonderful', haha.
I look forward to reading it every time, and I get excited every time I open your note, wondering what kind of expressions you'll use next. In short, I'm just a fan, haha. I'm savoring the happiness of coffee becoming a story through Eri-san's worldview.
You can learn everything about 'Nan no Hanashi Desu Coffee' by reading Eri-san's articles!!
Sunou Honda-san
Sunou-san worked up the courage to come out and say she can't drink black coffee. It's too cute... haha. (But for some reason, it wasn't surprising to me. I wonder why?)
Of course, there are people at the shop who say, 'I can't drink it black...' Because they are kind and considerate people, I think it's hard for them to tell a coffee shop that likely has its own standards that they can't drink it black. But everyone has their own preferences, so let's drink it in the flavor we like!!
But you know, actually, many people have their black coffee debut at TABBY's. (Even though I just said let's drink it in the flavor we like, haha.) As you all wrote in your articles, I think it's because the coffee has very little bitterness. One day, a little kid even drank their mother's coffee and said, 'Yummy♡' 🤫
I'm not saying you have to drink it black, Sunou-san, haha. Thank you for enjoying the milk brew as well ☺️
Shigure-san
Shigure-san, who created a story for us. Being part of a wonderful story... I think that is a truly special experience.
I am also very happy that you casually touched upon the country of Rwanda itself. The beans come from various countries around the world. Most of them are countries far from Japan and not very familiar to us. I am happy that you thought of them.
Through coffee that lets you dream, you travel through time and space and travel through stories. Thank you for such a luxurious time♡ Inspired by Shigure-san, I've started wanting to try my hand at creative writing too ☺️
And now, from Rwanda to Uganda
To everyone who enjoyed the first installment of 'Nan no Hanashi Desu Coffee', 'Drops of Rwanda', everyone who wrote articles for the 'Nan no Hanashi Desu Coffee' magazine, and everyone who read them, thank you all so very much!
Coffee that we all created together. Through all of your articles, I feel that 'Drops of Rwanda' has truly been completed in the truest sense. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Look forward to the November blend as well!!
W-wait...!! A coffee shop where you can read stories from the back alley... it means that finally... a second store is opening!!! Apparently, it's a secret 🤫
I hope that we can continue to cherish the worldview that 'Nan no Hanashi Desu ka' values, and that we can continue to have fun and liven things up together.
For my long night today, I, Omugi, am planning to spend a luxurious time reading the 'Nan no Hanashi Desu Coffee' magazine thoroughly.
Until I started my note, until I wandered into the back alley, I had no idea that such a rich world of creativity was spreading out there. I want to know more and more, and I want to be able to create things myself too.
I look forward to working with you in November as well♡
