Farmers Passion Coffee is the Nagoya shop of a company that grows its own organic coffee on a farm in Syangja, Nepal, planted under shade trees among herbs and spices in an agroforestry system. The company handles processing and roasting itself, matching processing and roast to bring out different flavours, so the cup in Issha follows one chain from tree to counter.

Alongside coffee, the shop sells cookies baked with coffee cherry skins, herb teas, jams from Nepali fruit and herb salts grown with the coffee. The company's original cafe, mol cafe, is in Toyokawa.
