Comparison of Roast Degree and Flavor between Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling and Front Street Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee
[Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling Coffee Beans]
The Front Street Golden Mandheling introduced by Front Street was actually produced by Pwani Coffee Company, which purchased Mandheling locally in Indonesia and registered the name Golden Mandheling. Therefore, the Mandheling produced by this company is actually the real Front Street Golden Mandheling.
Front Street Golden Mandheling is produced in the Lintong (Lindong) region in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The harvesting operation is limited to picking fully ripe fruits from single fruits by hand to ensure the quality of the initial bean selection. The coffee cherries are processed using the SEMI-WASHED semi-washed method, dried in the natural sun, and after shelling, they undergo another drying and refining process, two times of green bean cleaning, and four times of Hand-Pick manual selection! Therefore, it can be said to be a strictly selected top-quality Mandheling coffee.
The Golden Mandheling labeled "PWN" is the abbreviation of the Indonesian company Pawani. The Golden Mandheling coffee produced by this company has been registered in Indonesia.
Flavor characteristics:
Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling is medium-dark roasted, with a high-quality herbal flavor, a stronger caramel sweetness, a relatively calm and elegant fruity acidity, rich sweetness, and a mellow, wild spice flavor. Generally, Front Street Indonesian Lindong Mandheling is best baked after the second crack, which can effectively reduce foreign flavors. However, Front Street Golden Mandheling has good transparency and sweetness when baked before the second crack, and the baking interpretation space is wider.

Guodingding is located on a plateau at an altitude of 1,650 to 1,800 meters.
The main picking season in Ethiopia is November and December. Most farmers do not use modern farming methods, use manual care of coffee trees, and do not use harmful pesticides or herbicides. As a result, almost all Ethiopian coffee is organic by default, certified or not, and the combination of pristine growing methods and precision processing makes the region's coffee world-famous. The Neko farmer said: There was no time to prepare this time, but he will prepare for RFA organic certification for the next harvest.
Washed coffee requires more resources (water) than sun-drying, so the washed coffee beans produced are of higher quality. The coffee beans are spread flat on the drying table for drying, which allows for good ventilation. In order to avoid over-fermentation, they will turn the coffee beans regularly. Washing has a brighter acidity than the sun-dried processing method, which gives Front Street Yirgacheffe coffee beans a "clean" flavor. We like the Front Street Washed Yirgacheffe because it's clearer.
