The Costarica Group (Ideal Attrait Co., Ltd. / Headquarters: Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture; President and CEO: Naoki Okada) will open a new location, 'Green Hills Coffee Roaster's Lab.', a coffee bean roasting facility with an attached shop, in Toyohashi City (specific location: Ushikawa-cho) in April 2026. Rooted in the comfort of a coffee shop and a commitment to food and service, we propose coffee not as a 'commodity', but as a 'specialty' that enriches everyday life. In addition to selling roasted beans, we aim to create a space where aromas and flavors circulate through in-store extraction experiences, events, and workshops.
## Background and Purpose of Opening
Through our operation of coffee shops and restaurants, our company has learned from local customers that daily meals and coffee time can become a 'safe place to spend time'.
In recent years, the value of coffee has expanded from a 'cheaply and mass-consumed beverage' to a 'quality daily habit' enjoyed for the beans' individuality, origin background, and brewing methods. We wanted to deliver this change more closely and sincerely as 'a cup to balance your day' and 'time kind to people'.
Therefore, at our new location, 'Green Hills Coffee Roaster's Lab.', we connect roasting (beans) and extraction (a cup) in the same place, providing an experience where you can understand the reasons behind the taste. By overlaying the 'calmness, politeness, and hospitality' nurtured by coffee shops with the 'quality and transparency' of specialty coffee, we propose a new value of coffee for the local everyday life.
## Store Features and Service Content
**[Planned Offerings]**
### Roasted Beans and Products
- Single origin, blends (rotated based on the appeal of seasons and origins)
- Lineup for daily use / gifts (e.g., drip bags, gift boxes, etc.)
- Consultation on bean selection (proposals tailored to drinking methods, preferences, and equipment)
