The Coffee Bean Trial Set (コーヒー豆お試しセット) from 自家焙煎 珈琲工房ひぐち, a Rakuten Ichiba shop that roasts its own coffee, delivers 100g each of 3 kinds of coffee beans. It can be bought only by people using this shop for the first time, and only one set per person. The contents are one of the shop’s blends plus one coffee each from Brazil and Guatemala. Based on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and its reviews, this article organizes 5 points: contents, storage and shelf life, ingredients, suitability as a gift, and reviews. The features confirmed on the product page are three: you can compare 3 kinds at 100g each, the shop states that it handles everything from roasting to shipping itself, and one drip bag (one cup’s worth) is included.
