Kenyan coffee has a resounding label in the specialty circle: "beautifully sour." Front Street Kenyan cherry tomatoes take this beautiful acidity to the extreme - the sour aroma of cherry tomatoes and ebony plums, coupled with the full sense of juice, is recognized by lovers of bright acidity as a favorite.
A highly recognizable Kenyan bean
Front Street Kenyan cherry tomatoes come from the Thika production area in Kenya. They are planted at an altitude of 1550-1750 meters. They use the local classic SL28 and SL34 varieties. The beans are plump and round. The processing uses Kenya's unique 72-hour double-washed fermentation to fully stimulate the fruity aroma while ensuring a clean and pure taste. Combined with light roasting, the lively acidity and rich layered fruity flavors are completely preserved.
From the dry aroma, you can smell the strong aroma of dried cherry tomatoes and flowers. In the mouth, there is a clear flavor of cherry tomatoes and ebony plums. The acidity is bright and solid, as full as freshly squeezed juice. The sweetness is prominent in the middle section, with the fresh fruity notes of Sydney pear and blackberry. The finish is clean and long, with the sweetness of brown sugar and a hint of green tea. The overall sweetness and sourness are balanced and highly recognizable.
The difference between Ethiopian capers and capers
The acidity of Ethiopian fruit capers (such as Yirgacheffe) is softer and more floral and citrusy; the acidity of Kenya is more "solid" and more impactful, like taking a bite of fresh fruit. If you like mild acidity, choose Yerga. If you want to experience a more vivid and three-dimensional acidity, Kenyan cherry tomatoes will surprise you.
Who is suitable for drinking
Foodies who like bright and sour fruits and pursue flavor recognition
People who have already drank Yirgacheffe and want to explore the levels of fruit acid
People who like to make hand brews and cold brews, and enjoy the changes in sour aroma
Hand brewing of Front Street Kenyan cherry tomatoes is the best way to present it, with bright acidity and clear layers; cold brewing is also good, the sweetness and sourness of cherry tomatoes are softer at low temperatures, and the juice taste is more prominent.
Brewing recommendations
The water temperature for hand washing is 90-91°C, and the ratio of powder to water is 1:15. It is recommended to use a slightly finer grinding to fully release the acidity and sweetness. When drinking it, drink it hot first to feel the sour aroma, then let it cool a little, the sweetness and green tea aftertaste will be more obvious.
If you want to experience coffee that is "sour and soulful", Front Street Kenyan Cherry Tomato is a worthy choice. After one cup, the sweet and sour cherry tomatoes will stay in your memory for a long time.
