[Naka-ku, Nagoya] Home-roasted Coffee and Medicinal Tea Stand "Mond"

Freshly roasted and ground coffee

About six types of single origin coffee beans are always available. There are four standard beans from Mexico, East Timor, and other countries, and two or three beans in limited quantities, which are changed according to the season. All of them are mainly fair trade, organic, and caffeine-free. (They also have a lineup of pesticide-free juices for children.)

At Mond, there are many mothers with small children, so they also stock caffeine-free menus.

Master: "A long time ago, people said that decaffeinated coffee was watery and didn't taste good, but that's not true at all, it tastes just as good as regular coffee."

The popular "Papua New Guinea" has an aromatic sweetness and a perfect balance of acidity and richness. This one is roasted to a medium-deep roast to preserve its acidity.

Master: "We change the degree of roasting, such as shallow roasting or deep roasting, depending on the characteristics of the bean, and leave a little acidity so that it does not become too bitter. The acidity is popular among young people.

Also, freshness is important for beans, so we roast a small amount every morning in a small roaster installed at Relier in Shin-Sakae. ”

Eat-in hot coffee is uniformly 400 yen (tax included) *The 7th anniversary limited coffee is different from the regular price.

After ordering, the coffee is carefully hand-dripped one cup at a time.

We received the 7th Anniversary Limited Edition Costa Rica (Limited) coffee beans, which won the Cup of Excellence in Costa Rica in 2020. Normally, they pick beans that are in poor condition before roasting, but these beans are all in order, no chips, and of good quality.

When you put it in your mouth, the fruity sweet flavor spreads. It features a refreshing sweetness like a lime. I also enjoyed the elegant afterglow after drinking.

In addition to filter coffee, espresso and caffe latte are currently being devised.

Butter toast 350 yen (tax included)

The toast that you want to enjoy with such coffee is served by baking bread from the same Tsurumai bakery "SURIPU" with a high-class toaster barmuda. The toast is crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and has a buttery flavor.

Medicinal tea that is good for the mind and body

The medicinal tea offered at Mond uses tea leaves blended at the medicinal cafe "Soybean Flour" in Seto City. The menu changes depending on the season, but there are always about 4-5 types available.

Autumn medicinal tea menu 400 yen each (tax included)

・Tea of fragrant olive
For those who want to heal fatigue and those who want to warm up

・Kakidoshi tea (lotus root, cardamom)
For those aiming for anti-aging and those who want to detox

・Beautiful red tea (pink flower, hibiscus, chinpi, thousand day red)
For those who aim for beautiful skin and those who want to relax

・Golden lotus flower tea (decision child, golden lotus flower, jasmine)
For those who want to refresh and heal fatigue

The medicinal tea is served in teapots like this one, so you can drink plenty of it. You can also take out and purchase tea leaves.

I had tea of fragrant olive, which is in season in October. You may have an image that good medicine tastes bitter, but that's not the case at all. I was healed by the fluffy and gentle scent.

Master: “Many of the teas have a warming effect on the body, so we serve them hot. From summer to autumn, we have tea that heals fatigue, and in spring, we prepare sweet tea for those who suffer from pollen, so please choose according to your concerns. There is no immediate effect, but I would like you to relax your mind and body even a little."

Wishes in CHIYODAmap

At storefronts, they distribute "CHIYODAmap" that lists 24 stores such as restaurants and clothing stores in the Chiyoda area. This is said to have been planned and produced in 2018, before Amo-san moved overseas.

Ami-san: "Chiyoda is an area where the number of interesting and unique independent shops is increasing. Ten years ago when I opened Relier, there were only a few shops, but now there are more than 20 shops. As a pioneer in the creation of this Chiyoda map, we planned and held an event called "Chiyoda Halloween", and over the course of two days, more than 200 groups of people participated in the event, which also served as an impetus for the creation of the map.

I want to liven up the area and shops, but I also think it would be nice if more people moved to Chiyoda and people who want to open shops. There are not many left, so I would like to create new maps and apps. ”

Thank you very much, Amo-san!

The paper version of the map is a nice A3 size folded compactly. Why not take a stroll and enjoy visiting the stores, and you will be welcomed by a friendly master at Mond.
