In the world of coffee, there is one place that has its own aura - the Kaffa Primeval Forest in Ethiopia, the birthplace of Arabica coffee. Front Street Kaffa Forest coffee beans come from here. Drinking it is not just drinking a cup of coffee, it is more like meeting the "hometown" of coffee.
Flavors grown in 1,800 meters of primeval forest
Front Street Kafa Forest is produced in a high-altitude forest area with an altitude of 1,800 meters. It is a mixture of local native species of multiple strains. This "wild feeling" is directly reflected in the flavor: after brewing, the fruity aroma of oranges and ripe apricots blooms layer by layer, the acidity is bright and clean, soft and non-irritating, the juice is full and smooth, and the alcohol is light and balanced.
What's even more interesting is the layers brought about by the temperature change - as the coffee slowly cools down, the sweetness of the melons and fruits will become more and more prominent, and the elegant oolong tea aftertaste lingers at the end, with a long aftertaste, and there is no sudden odor until the end.
The charm of native species
Kaffa Forest does not use a single commercial variety, but a mixture of native species that grow naturally in the local forest. The beans come in different sizes, but the flavor is particularly vibrant. It is not as "standard" as some beans, but has a wild fruity aroma that grows in the forest. This recognition is why many people like it.
Who is suitable for drinking
People who want to drink coffee with a "story" and are interested in the origin of coffee
People who like bright fruit acid but don’t want it to be too irritating
Those who want to take a step further from Yirgacheffe and explore more of the flavors of Ethiopia
Front Street Kafa Forest is its home brewery, with clean acidity and distinct layers; it is also good at cold brewing, with the sweetness of melon and fruit being more prominent at low temperatures, making it taste like a refreshing cup of fruit tea.
Brewing recommendations
The water temperature for hand brewing is about 90℃, and the powder-to-water ratio is 1:15 to 1:16. Drink the original flavor first and feel the change from fruity aroma to oolong tea sweetness. If you like a sweeter taste, you can let it cool down a bit before drinking it, and the sweetness at the end will be more obvious.
