roasted coffee beansIt's like an art form, turning tasteless green seeds into fragrant maroon beans. It does not mean that lightly roasted beans are necessarily delicious, while dark roasted beans are not delicious. Front Street believes that each bean has its own flavor characteristics of its place of origin, and the degree of roasting can bring out the flavor of the beans.
For example, Front Street Yirgacheffe coffee beans from Ethiopia are more suitable for light roasting to highlight its unique acidity and floral aroma; Front Street Colombian Cymbidium coffee beans are suitable for medium roasting to express the nutty and chocolate flavor of the place of origin. This also means that we can judge whether coffee beans are sour or bitter based on the flavor description. For those who hate sour coffee, I guess dark roasting is your cup of tea.
Generally, medium roasted coffee beans will have an elegant brown color with a small amount of oil appearing on the surface of the beans. Medium roasted coffee beans have a small amount of acidity, moderate body, and a round taste. Medium roasting can preserve the original flavor of coffee beans and release the aroma moderately. It will be richer and sweeter than light roasted coffee beans, but the acidity is not as sharp as light roasted coffee beans. For single-origin coffee, choose the medium roasting method.
Dark roasted coffee is a dark brown coffee with rich surface oil, low acidity, bitter taste, and a more mellow taste, so dark roasting is also called Italian roasting. Generally, it is difficult to determine the origin of coffee from dark roasted coffee, so today’s roasters do not roast the beans too darkly to avoid excessive caramelization. Medium-dark roasted coffee beans will have chocolate, nut and caramel flavors. In order to highlight its unique woody aroma and mellow taste, Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling, the representative of Asian specialty coffee, is produced with medium-dark roasting, so that the coffee not only has the aroma of dark chocolate and roasted nuts, but also has the taste of herbs and sandalwood.
Medium-dark roasted coffee beans are also mostly used in Italian blends because they are rich in coffee oil and caramelized aroma, which can make the extraction more stable. The four Italian blends roasted by Front Street are medium-dark roasts, including Grease Bomb - Front Street Classic Blend, Nut Pie - Front Street Boutique Blend, God of Cost-Effectiveness - Front Street Black Cocoa Basic Blend, and the first choice for opening a store - Front Street Commercial Blend.
