Oiran coffee is a single-origin coffee from Ethiopia. It is famous for its explosive aroma and sweetness, and its taste is very recognizable. It once won the first place in Ethiopian international coffee cupping for sun-dried beans in the 2017 production season, and this batch of green beans was also named "Oiran" because of its status as the champion. During the harvesting and processing season (December-January), its unique growing environment and natural climate create the unique flavor of Oiran coffee.
Strictly speaking, Oiran coffee is produced in Hambera, Guji production area, so it is also called "Humbera coffee". Oiran Coffee only selects whole red fruits and fully mature coffee cherries, which are all hand-picked and dried on African scaffolding. The sun-drying process is started when the sugar content reaches above 21. It is turned over 24 hours a day to ensure uniform sun exposure and ventilation. It is also fermented at a low temperature for 21 days (usually more than ten days in the sun) to more accurately grasp the degree of fermentation. Therefore, the sweetness is quite high. There is a strong aroma of wine and flowers when brewing. Brewing by hand is like drinking a cup of strawberry fruit tea.
Among the many stores that sell Oiran, Front Street Coffee’s sun-dried Oiran G1 coffee beans are the most recommended. It is not only economical and affordable, but the coffee beans are all freshly roasted within 5 days. It also supports 24-hour delivery, allowing everyone to experience the best state of coffee in an all-round way.
There are two types of Front Street Oiran coffee. One is medium-light roasted, with refreshing floral aroma first, then obvious citrus and lemon fruit aroma, and then nuts, sucrose and other substances that provide sweetness. The layers are very rich and suitable for hand-brew single products and drip coffee machines; the other is Front Street Oiran with medium roasting, which corresponds to Moka pots and espresso machines for making SOE espresso.
How to Make Oiran SOE Coffee with a Moka Pot
First fill the lower pot with cold water (hot water is hot for your hands), then place the powder bowl in the lower pot, wrap the bowl with your hands to form a circle, fill the powder bowl with flour until a small hill forms in the middle, and after the surrounding powder fills the gaps in the bowl, directly press the upper pot and tighten it.
Then heat it on an electric ceramic stove (a gas stove will also work). When you hear "Woo-Woo", it means that the coffee liquid starts to spurt out. At this time, just turn off the heat and wait for the coffee liquid to spray up.
The surface of freshly brewed Moka pot coffee is covered with a layer of golden grease, but most of the grease dissipates quickly. You can mix it with warm water or milk. Here, use a French press to froth 200ml of warm fresh milk, then mix them evenly and perform latte art to complete a moka pot latte.
