(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yoshiaki Kawashima) will launch "COFFEE BEYOND GOODBYE" on Month/Day (Day) at HH:MM in Location, collaborating with "Goodbye's Story," currently streaming on Netflix, one of the world's largest video streaming services specializing in entertainment.

■ About "COFFEE BEYOND GOODBYE"
MICAFEETO is in charge of coffee supervision for "Goodbye's Story" (8 episodes, all released at once), which will be exclusively streamed on Netflix starting November 14th. The series depicts Saeko Sugawara (Kasumi Arimura), the protagonist, working at a coffee company and striving to bring smiles to wounded people with the world's most delicious coffee based on her own experiences. Coffee plays a vital role as an item within the narrative. With the desire for viewers to enjoy flavors tailored to each of the eight episodes while watching this beautiful yet poignant love story, we have developed eight distinct flavors, each corresponding to an episode.
The common story blend for the "COFFEE BEYOND GOODBYE" original drip coffee is "Hawaii Kona Blend," produced in the state of Hawaii. The complex aroma of Kona reflects the intricate emotions and relationships of the characters, while the blended AL (Alto Luna) expresses a delicate taste of sadness and ephemerality. This coffee is characterized by its gentle sweetness and warm mouthfeel, reminiscent of "Goodbye's Story."

The Continuation of a Proposal

The Continuation of Life
Kotoa Farm: Alto Luna
AL (Alto Luna), with its apple-like flavor, evokes the peaceful moments Naruse spends with his family and perfectly matches the overall bright tone of the story. Its fresh and transparent taste brings a sense of cheerfulness to the viewer.
The Continuation of Memories
Kilema Church Area Smallholder Farmers: Kilema Church Kilimanjaro
A flavor reflecting a mix of emotions: anticipation and relief for the future, intertwined with anxiety and unease. While the acidity is bright, the overall calm, grayish tone remarkably links with the complex emotions of the story.
The Continuation of a Birthday
San Sebastian Farm: Pacamara Natural
This flavor expresses the process of the story's core shifting from a vague premonition to a firm conviction, with a華やか (hanayaka - gorgeous/brilliant) and full-bodied taste. The vibrant naturalness, like fireworks illuminating the night sky, enhances the narrative's crescendo.
The Continuation of a Storm
Ngorongoro Monastery Coffee Estate: Ngorongoro
A flavor symbolizing the premonition of a storm, where overflowing emotions are accompanied by worries and anger. Its exotic and complex taste evokes strong emotions and a storm, conveying a sense of power.
The Continuation of Fate and Coincidence
San Sebastian Farm: Villa Lobos
To express a story where unsettling misunderstandings and suffering unfold beneath a calm surface, like a lull, a balanced flavor was chosen. While offering a smooth mouthfeel, the complex and rich taste, characteristic of a first-class estate, mirrors the characters' inner turmoil.
The Continuation of Life
Santa Luzia Farm: Mundo Novo
This flavor expresses Saeko's state of mind as she faces a decision for a new life. The taste transitions from a light mouthfeel to a subtle bitterness, reflecting Saeko's complex emotions shifting from hope to despair.
Goodbye's Story
Bella Vista Farm: Recuerdo de Ivan
A flavor symbolizing hope for the future and the beginning of a new life. Just as Alma, inheriting the will of her late husband Ivan, embarks on a new path, "Recuerdo" (Remembrance), expressing the crystallization of love, is the perfect flavor to savor the lingering resonance of the story.
