Roasted into the narrow window between medium-dark and dark, timed to the point where oil begins to appear after second crack. The bitterness of a deep roast with a clean finish: one for black-coffee drinkers who have several cups a day.
Bitter, clean, easy-drinking

Colombia's strong bitterness and acidity combine into a deep cup; W&H roasts it so the acidity stays only slight while the fullness of Colombian flavour comes through.
Deep, full, slight acidity

W&H's first blend, named after the couple's first child. A clean-drinking dark-roast Brazil base layered with Colombia and a little Ethiopia, balancing the pleasant bitterness of a deep roast with a slight acidity that lifts it.
Pleasant bitterness, slight acidity, clean

Ethiopia roasted dark so the sharp acidity all but disappears, replaced by a deep accent that sits with its natural fruitiness: a very W&H take on a coffee usually thought of as sour.
Fruity, deep, low acidity

W&H roasts everything dark, but after the pandemic more visitors arrived from countries where light roasts are the norm, so Kyoichi Yoshida set out, like a father with a new hobby, to find a W&H-style lighter roast. A natural Mundo Novo from Fazenda Horizontina in Patos de Minas, first made for a magazine project.

Roasted in the split second between medium and dark: aroma and richness, bitterness and acidity in balance, finishing on citrus. Easy to drink at any time of day or year.
Rich, balanced, citrus finish

Mandheling at its best roasted firmly and deep: strong bitterness with a fruity aroma running through it and a full body that suits café au lait and iced coffee.
Strong bitterness, fruity aroma, full body

An all-decaf dark-roast blend of Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia, named for Ikumi Yoshida and the years she spent as a new mother giving her time to the family: a coffee for anyone who wants to slow down without caffeine.
Dark roast, gentle, caffeine-free

A limited autumn blend (22 September to 11 November 2026) for picnic season: W&H is a coffee shop that also rents out picnic sets for the Kamo riverbank. A clean, gentle dark roast meant for long, slow afternoons outdoors.
Clean, gentle, easy-drinking

The second W&H blend, created for people who drink café au lait every day. A sweet, full-bodied dark roast with layered aromatics that hold up in milk, and firm enough to drink black.
Full body, sweet, made for milk
