UCC Cafe

The wonder of the world in a cup of coffee. That sprout, nurtured like a child. This sun and rain, not an ounce gone to waste. Beans roasted to bring out their ultimate aroma, Selected for beautiful extraction of flavor. Coffee is not a beverage. It is the wealth of nature and abundance of passion, Delivered from the Equator to metropolis, From port to café, From plantation to home. UCC contains the wonder of the world in the story of its coffee. This single cup of coffee has traveled tens of thousands of kilometers To bring a smile to your face. Since opening the directly-operated Blue Mountain coffee estate in Jamaica in 1981, UCC has been engaged in full-scale farming operations and by leveraging the expertise acquired through these operations, has been holding “Quality Contests” at the six coffee-producing countries, in an effort to enhance the quality of the coffee produced in each country, raise the standard of living of the producers and to ensure the stable supply of coffee. UCC is also involved in unique sustainability activities including forest conservation activities and the instruction of cultivation techniques in the coffee-producing countries. Additionally, in Japan, UCC is supporting learning that incorporates the perspectives of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) by creating teaching materials on the theme of “Thinking about sustainable development based on the relationship of Japan with coffee-producing countries,” offering these materials to the junior high schools and high schools around the nation, and conducting classes. Furthermore, the UCC Coffee Academy is proactively promoting various initiatives including the holding of online seminars that present the activities of the coffee-producing countries.
