There are so many coffee beans on the market today, there are so many choices! ! As a coffee beginner, how do you choose coffee beans that suit you? In this article, Front Street Coffee will briefly talk to you about the key points of selecting coffee beans.
first! We need to choose coffee beans that are freshly roasted and marked with the roasting date
After the coffee beans are roasted, they will have rich coffee aroma and flavor. Usually these aromatic substances can be locked in the coffee beans for about 30 days when sealed and dried. Therefore, when we choose coffee beans, we should choose beans within 20 days after roasting, preferably within 5 days after roasting.
All coffee beans currently sold on Front Street Street are sent out within 5 days after the roasting is completed, and the coffee beans will release the smoke caused by the roasting process about 4 days after the roasting is completed. After receiving the coffee beans, you can first check the roasting date. If they were roasted yesterday/the day before yesterday, you can leave them in the original packaging until 3-4 days after the roasting date before tasting.
Then, we can initially determine the sour, sweet and bitter taste of the coffee based on the degree of roasting.
Generally speaking, the lighter the roasting degree of coffee, the more obvious the acidity in the coffee, and the darker the roasting degree, the more obvious the bitterness in the coffee. So if you like to drink coffee with obvious acidity, you can choose light/medium-light roasted coffee beans; if you like to drink less sour but don’t want obvious bitterness, you can choose medium-roasted coffee beans; if you like richer and more mellow coffee, you can choose medium-dark/dark roasted coffee beans.
Finally, we can decide the coffee flavor we want in the coffee producing area.
If you like bright, sour, fresh and refreshing coffee, you can choose coffee beans from the Ethiopian region. For example, Front Street Coffee currently sells "washed coffee beans from Front Street Guoding Ding Cooperative in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia". The flavor shows the bright sourness of citrus fruits, sweetness like honey, nutty aroma, and sweetness like green tea.
If you like coffee with a soft sour taste and obvious sweetness, you can choose coffee beans from Panama. For example, Front Street Panama Boquette Washed Flower Butterfly Coffee Bean has a soft citrus acidity, obvious nutty fish caramel aroma, and green tea-like sweetness.
If you like something that is neither sour nor bitter, but rich and mellow, you can choose coffee beans from Brazil. For example, the semi-sun-dried coffee beans from Front Street’s Brazilian Queen Estate exhibit a rich aroma of roasted nuts, as rich as dark chocolate, as smooth as peanut butter, and as sweet as sucrose.
If you want to make the same taste as a coffee shop, or want to be a host, then Front Street Commercial Blend is your first choice. Compared with other Italian coffees, Front Street Commercial Blend adopts the typical combinations of Brazil and Colombia, and then adds a small amount of Robusta to enhance the original flavor level. The coffee exhibits complex nutty aromas such as almonds, almonds, and walnuts. The oil has good fluidity, the taste is low-acid and mellow, and the price advantage makes it undoubtedly the best choice for opening a store.
