The front street is a coffee beans seller, but it’s not just coffee beans. In addition to coffee beans, hanging ears are also sold! If you have ever purchased hanging earrings at an offline store on Front Street, then I believe you will also have doubts about Front Street’s approach, because whether online or offline, Front Street insists on making the products freshly ordered by customers.
Considering that everyone wants to know different coffee producing areas around the world and try more different flavors, we have launched the classic five-producing area hanging ear coffee for Qianqian Street. It covers Ethiopia, Kenya, Brazil, Panama, Indonesia and other world-famous coffee producing countries. From light roasting to dark roasting, from washing to sun-drying, each style has its own flavor and characteristics, which is very worthy for beginners to try.
When you have purchased the Front Street classic 5-producing area hanging earrings, you can start trying them in order from darkest to lightest:Medium-dark roasted Front Street Indonesian Mandheling (herbaceous, fragrant nutty flavor), Front Street Honduran washed katura (cream, chocolate aftertaste), Front Street Panamanian Butterfly (citrus, tea flavor, honey flavor), Front Street Esai Gacheffe Red Cherry (citrus, fruity wine aroma), Front Street Kenyan Asalia (berry, cherry tomato tone).
As a type of specialty coffee, hanging ear coffee is the best and only choice for drinking black coffee when going out or working. No matter which type of hanging ear is used, Front Street's hanging ear is made from fresh coffee beans, ground and packaged. Since hanging ear coffee is ground in advance, the gas will escape faster compared with Pour over(V60) coffee. It is recommended to drink it within one month.
What's wrong with this approach? Offline, it is easy for customers to wait for too long. It takes about 10 minutes to make a pack of ear hangings in the store. Therefore, without exception, every customer and friend will ask the following question when they buy the ear mounts for the first time in an offline store: "Why not make the ear mounts first and put them away? Wouldn't that be more convenient?"
Indeed, it is very convenient for anyone to make the ear hooks in advance. However, doing so will have a consequence - shortening the period of appreciation for the ear hangings that guests receive.
How long is the tasting period of hanging ear coffee?
The so-called coffee tasting period refers to the best tasting time of coffee. During this time, we can taste the most complete and rich coffee flavor of this bean. Why? Because the aroma of coffee is volatile. The coffee flavor we taste from coffee mainly comes from aroma, and most of these aroma substances are volatile and will continue to evaporate after the coffee beans are roasted.
The speed at which coffee aroma evaporates depends on many aspects, such as the storage environment and the integrity of the structure. But as long as they are stored properly, the tasting period of coffee beans can be as long as 2 months. This means that within 2 months, we can brew fragrant coffee.
After 2 months, as the aroma gradually dissipates, we taste more of the water-soluble taste from the coffee, that is, the sour, sweet, and bitter taste of the coffee. Although the fragrant aroma is gone, the coffee liquid doesn't taste bad, it's just not as fragrant as before.
However, the tasting period mentioned here in Front Street refers to the tasting period of coffee beans with a complete structure. As Front Street shared in today’s first tweet, coffee beans lose a lot of aroma when they are ground into powder, and because the surface area is increased, the aroma loss rate will be greatly accelerated.
Front Street conducted an experiment before. The coffee beans used were Poquette Geisha from the Front Street bean list. The content of the experiment was to compare the flavor performance of coffee ground at different times.
The results show that when properly sealed, the tasting period of coffee beans after being ground into powder is about one month. It is during this month that we can taste the white floral aroma and citrus fruity notes of this Gesha. After a month, these aromas become very weak, and we taste more of the water-soluble flavor in coffee.
To make an ear-mounted coffee bag, you need to grind the coffee powder in advance, then put it into the ear-mounted coffee bag and seal it. In other words, the tasting period of hanging ear coffee is about one month. If we prepare the hanging ears in advance, it will mean that the appreciation period after the guests get them will be shortened. If the customer buys an ear-hanging bag that was made 15 days ago, then the best tasting period of this bag of ear-hanging is only half a month.
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation from happening and to allow customers and friends to enjoy the complete flavor of coffee, Front Street chooses the relatively troublesome method of freshly grinding it to order.
But if you are not in a hurry, you can also choose to place an order for hanging earphones from the Tmall and Taobao stores on Qian Street, because the factory ships fresh coffee roasted within five days. The fresher it is, the longer the tasting period will be. For friends who cannot finish the drink in a short time, this will be more suitable and convenient~
