Maruyama Coffee to Release Limited-Edition 'Argerich Blend' from April 25th in Collaboration with Beppu Argerich Music Festival

Maruyama Coffee Co., Ltd. (Karuizawa, Nagano; President: Kentaro Maruyama) has been selling an original limited-time blend since 2015 in collaboration with the 'Beppu Argerich Music Festival.' This medium-dark roast blend expresses the performance of Martha Argerich, a great pianist and General Director of the festival. Crafted by a roaster who deeply loves Argerich's music, this year's blend aims to capture her world of passion and delicate artistry.

The blend features a soft sweetness like yellow peach and a hint of bitterness reminiscent of orangette, balanced within a sense of strength. Layers of richness like raisins and milk caramel provide a lingering finish. It is a deep blend where the flavor profile shifts within a single cup.

Message from Kyoko Ito, General Producer: 'This coffee truly represents the Argerich of today—passion, delicacy, and strength within softness.'
