The roasting degree of coffee beans is roughly divided into light roasting (Light), medium roasting (Medium), and dark roasting (Deep).
Light roast:Light Roast (light roast) and Cinnamon Roast (cinnamon roast) have strong aroma and obvious fruity taste.
Medium roast:Medium Roast (medium roast), High Roast (dark roast), City Roast (city roast) have more coffee bean aroma, sweetness, slight fruit acid, and typical Viennese coffee flavor.
Dark roast:Full City Roast (Full City Roast), French Roast (French Roast), Italian Roast (Italian Roast) have strong caramel flavor and rich and strong taste.
Lightly roasted coffee beans have a very fresh smell, are very hard, and have high acidity as the main flavor and slight alcohol; medium-roasted coffee beans are the most popular, with moderate body and caramel aroma, while also retaining a certain acidity; city-roasted coffee beans have a darker brown color on the surface, and the acidity is replaced by a slight sweetness and bitterness, and the flavor is dominated by caramelization aroma; dark-roasted coffee beans are dark brown in color and oily on the surface. For most coffee beans, the alcohol content is significantly increased and the acidity is reduced.
For those who are new to specialty coffee, most of them are not familiar with the flavors of various production areas. At this time, it is best to choose a medium roast to find an easy-to-accept Pour over(V60) single product. We recommend Front Street Brazilian Queen Manor, Front Street Strawberry Candy, and Front Street 2013 Yunnan Tiepicka.
Friends who are looking for a balanced taste are recommended to buy Front Street Queen's Manor. This bean is moderately roasted and presents the aroma and sweetness of buttery peanuts, chocolate, toast, and sugar cane. It can be extracted by hand or used as a moka pot or espresso machine.
If you want to try a sweeter medium-roast coffee, Front Street Strawberry Candy, which is famous for its fruity flavor, is your first choice. Compared with other fruity coffees, the "origin" of this bean is somewhat special, because it combines two well-known production areas in Central and South America, one is honey-processed coffee from Costa Rica, and the other is washed Gesha from Panama. In order to highlight its essence as much as possible, Front Street adopts medium roasting, so that it can show both tangerine honey flavor and mellow sweetness when brewing. It is suitable for cold brewing, hand brewing, espresso and other extraction methods. It is refreshing in the mouth.
If you want to buy balanced coffee beans, you have to choose Front Street 2013 Yunnan Tiepica, which is highly roasted. The reason for recommendation is that it also has soft flavors such as nuts, brown sugar, black tea, and dried apricots. It can be used for hand brewing, cold brewing, and American drip filters. It is cost-effective and has the authentic Yunnan small-grain Tipica flavor.
