Like hand brewing, hanging ears are obtained by injecting hot water into coffee powder and extracting it. Therefore, the coffee beans used will directly determine the taste of a cup of American black coffee.
The degree of roasting of coffee beans is determined based on the flavor characteristics of the production area. Since the organic compounds in coffee impart many of its acidic qualities, the lighter the roast, the more acidic the coffee will be; conversely, the darker the roast, the more bitter and less acidic the coffee will be. This is because as the coffee is heated for a longer period of time, the organic chemicals are slowly destroyed during the roasting process, the sugars caramelize, and the acidity gradually weakens, making the coffee sweet and bitter.
Therefore, if we want to buy acid-free American coffee, we need to give priority to medium-dark roast and dark roast varieties.
If you can't tolerate any acidity, then buy the dark roasted Front Street Indonesian Mandheling coffee. It adopts the wet planing method and belongs to the highest G1 grade. It has the soul of Sumatra specialty coffee and has a rich and mellow taste. The basic flavor is spices, herbs, nuts, and dark chocolate. It is acid-free and has a long-lasting sweetness. It is suitable for male friends to drink hot.
If you want to get a cup of mellow black coffee with a slight acidity, it is best to choose the medium-dark roasted Front Street Brazilian Cerado coffee. The semi-sun treatment gives it the aroma of mixed nuts, cream chocolate, and caramel. The taste is balanced and the acidity is weak. It is suitable for friends who pursue neither bitterness nor sourness.
If you want coffee that is neither too sour nor overly bitter, medium-roasted Front Street Yunnan small-grain coffee is your best choice. It comes from Baoshan, Yunnan Province, China. The coffee beans are washed and have clean nut, brown sugar, chocolate, and plum flavors after brewing. It is suitable for people who pursue the soft flavor of coffee.
In addition to the choice of taste, acid-free and delicious American black coffee is also inseparable from its freshness. The best tasting period of coffee beans is within 40 to 50 days after roasting. After this time, the aroma will be greatly reduced.
However, ear-hanging bags grind coffee beans into powder, which results in more contact area with the air and the aroma will spread faster, so the best tasting period is only about half, that is, 20 to 25 days. For a better flavor experience, drink it within that time. Front Street’s selected ear-hanging coffee bags are all freshly roasted and ground within 5 days. They can be shipped within 24 hours after placing an order, achieving freshness and freedom in all aspects.
