Born from UCC's 90-year legacy as Japan's coffee pioneer, this blend was crafted by their elite 'Meister' roasters for a specific need: a premium, smooth coffee that fits seamlessly into a modern, fast-paced lifestyle. They selected 100% Arabica beans from high-altitude farms, then developed a proprietary low-temperature roasting profile to reduce bitterness and acidity—a process refined over decades. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified Japanese facility, with each single-serve drip bag individually nitrogen-flushed to lock in freshness. It's not just coffee; it's the result of Japanese shokunin (craftsman) dedication to a single perfect cup. This commitment has made it a top-ranked drip coffee in its category for home and office use in Japan.

UCC Shokunin no Kohi Meister's Mild Blend Drip Coffee - 40 Count is a premium coffee product composed solely of 100% Arabica coffee beans, meticulously selected and blended to achieve a balanced, smooth flavor profile.
