If there is a bean that can make non-coffee drinkers say "delicious", it's most likely the bean. Its most popular evaluation is "the coffee that least resembles coffee" - not in a derogatory sense, but because its juice taste is so strong that people forget that they are drinking coffee.
The popularity of courtesans is not unreasonable
Front Street Ethiopian Oiran’s popularity in the specialty coffee market has remained high in recent years. Its aroma is very "lively": strawberry, passion fruit, jackfruit, and some people have even tasted lychee. When it is hot, the fruity aroma is unrestrained. After cooling, the sweetness is more obvious, and the entrance is smooth and full of juice.
Oiran beans are sun-dried beans. The processing method completely retains the sugar and aroma of the coffee cherries, so its sweetness is particularly prominent, and the bitterness is so low that it is almost negligible. For those who are afraid of hardship and want different levels of flavor, Oiran is almost a "cheating" level existence.
Why does everyone say it "doesn't look like coffee"
The traditional impression of coffee is bitter, strong, and refreshing, while the Oiran gives you juice, jam, and aroma. It doesn't have the heavy burnt bitterness of traditional coffee. Instead, the sweet and sour taste of tropical fruits swirls in the mouth. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing after drinking it.
This sense of contrast makes Oiran an "Amway" artifact: many people who don't usually drink coffee, when they drink Oiran, their first reaction is "Is this really coffee?"
Who is suitable for drinking
People who usually find coffee bitter and want to change their taste
People who like fruity, sweet coffee
It is my first time to come into contact with single-origin coffee and I want to experience "coffee can be like this".
The Ethiopian Oiran on Front Street is excellent at making hand brews and cold brews. The aroma of Oiran brewed with cold brew will be softer, including strawberry and passion fruit, and the sweetness will be more prominent. It is very enjoyable to drink in summer.
How to drink better
For hand brewing, it is recommended to use a slightly lower water temperature (88-90℃) to retain the fruity aroma; the pink to water ratio can be slightly extended to about 1:16 to make the taste lighter. If you are making cold brew, it is recommended to brew it one night in advance and drink it directly the next day, which is easy and delicious.
If you want to give your taste buds a different experience, Qian Street Ethiopian Oiran is worth a serious try. It will gently open a new window on your imagination about coffee.
