The selling price is 12,960 yen (tax included), and the content is 150g (5.29oz). It was jointly researched and developed with the overseas prefectures of Reunion in the Republic of France, making use of the agricultural technology that UCC has been using since 1981 at its directly managed farms.

Discovered on Bourbon Island (now Reunion Island) in France in the 18th century, beans are said to have fascinated French literary master Barsac and King Louis XV. However, due to the difficulty of cultivation and natural disasters, the export record of 1942 was finally cut off.


After 7 years of research and research by UCC and Reunion overseas prefectures, it was successfully regenerated. Since 2007, it has been sold in limited quantities once a year in the Japanese market.

"Pointu" means "pointed" in French. As the name suggests, it has a sharper shape than other coffee beans, and is characterized by its strong sweetness and high aroma. Since it is small, hard and difficult to heat evenly, it has been devised to bring out the original taste of bright acidity and juicy sweetness under the supervision of the roaster of the "UCC Roast Meister Contest" champion. I will.

In addition, UCC Group Chikako Nakai, the winner of the "Japan Brewers Cup 2018", which competes for the best coffee extraction technology in Japan, supervises and explains the extraction recipe using a paper filter.

The set includes 150g (5.29oz) of beans in an original bottle, a brand book that describes how to brew delicious beans, and a cosmetic box with a certificate of origin printed on it.


In addition to the UCC official online shop "COFFEE STYLE UCC Online Shop", it is available at 22 UCC directly managed stores. General sales will start from December 10th.
