Grounds for Health?
Have you heard of Grounds for Health?
It all started with an entrepreneur running a coffee company. In 1996, he visited a coffee farming cooperative in Mexico and was shocked by the incidence of cervical cancer, which prompted him to found Grounds for Health.
This is an organization that works in collaboration with the coffee industry to promote the health of women living in developing countries, particularly with the aim of early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.

Ogawa Coffee × Grounds for Health
As part of its support for Grounds for Health, an initiative undertaken by Ogawa Coffee under the slogan "What can be done with a cup of coffee," the company will hold events around March each year as "Grounds for Health Month," coinciding with International Women's Day on March 8th.
The cafe menu at Ogawa Coffee directly managed stores (excluding some stores) includes "Adult and Children's Coffee Milk," which uses decaffeinated coffee that is easy for pregnant women and children to drink, as well as a variety of other projects.
We will also distribute short videos that will introduce Grounds for Health's activities in a more widely understandable way.

Ogawa Coffee Shop Series
We inherit the specialty store's flavor that has been refined and passed down since our founding in 1952.
The Ogawa Coffee series was started with the concept of "Specialty store coffee created by Kyoto coffee artisans". It uses "ARK", a special bean that meets our unique standards in pursuit of authentic flavors from coffee-producing regions, and is made using an after-mix method that makes the most of the beans' individuality to deliver fragrant tradition and high-quality flavor.
What is Ogawa Coffee's exclusive beans, ARK?
ARK has met our unique standards. This is proof that the beans are suitable for use at Ogawa Coffee.
In order to continue to provide delicious coffee to as many people as possible, we examine whether the ingredients we use match the taste we are after and whether we can deliver them to our customers in a stable manner, repeatedly exchanging samples until we find something that meets our standards.
We also value our connections with coffee-producing countries, especially with our "producers," and we constantly strive to achieve better quality by discussing the matter until both parties are satisfied.
What is the after-mix method?
Rather than roasting blended beans with different characteristics in the same way, we roast them separately to bring out the condition and flavor characteristics of the beans to the fullest.
Furthermore, the same type of beans are roasted to different depths to bring out subtle differences in their personalities and give the beans their own unique flavor and aroma before being blended together.
