Oiran is a high-quality Arabica coffee bean that novices must drink. It comes from Hambella in the Guji production area (GUJI) and is processed by the Buku Abel processing plant here. Its flavor is famous for its classic Ethiopian floral and fruity aroma.
Buku Abel is grown at an altitude of more than 2,250 meters. The local rainfall exceeds 1,200mm and the temperature difference between day and day is large, giving the coffee fruits a good environment. Oiran Coffee only selects whole red fruits and fully mature coffee cherries, which are all manually picked and dried on African scaffolding. The thickness of the fruit layer is limited and they are turned regularly 24 hours a day. The manor is fermented at low temperature in the unique natural environment.
During the harvesting and processing season (December-January), its unique growing environment and natural climate create the unique flavor of Oiran. The harvested red fruits must have a sugar content of over 30 before sun-drying begins. During the first two days of sun exposure, the humidity of the red fruits should be ensured so that the fructose can fully start the fermentation reaction. At the same time, the high-altitude geographical location allows the night temperature of the treatment plant to drop to about 12 degrees Celsius without causing excessive fermentation odors due to excessive temperatures. When the temperature is relatively high at noon, the fruit will be shaded to prevent sunburn on the red fruits.
At night, in order to prevent sudden rainfall, they will also be wrapped with thick plastic sheets. This allows the red fruits to ferment and dehydrate at a relatively low temperature.
The varieties of Oiran coffee are local native species and vary in overall size. There are small-grained varieties, which are round in appearance, and some which are elongated. The bean body is full, mostly between 14-15 mesh, and the appearance and size vary greatly. This is also the characteristic of most Ethiopian coffee beans, and has nothing to do with taste.

Each bag contains 10g of coffee powder. After brewing, you can get a cup of 150ml of fresh black coffee. It has a sweet and sour taste, economical and affordable, and is very suitable for busy office workers.
If possible, it is recommended to use hand brewing to extract Front Street Oiran coffee, because this can better display the delicate floral and fruity aroma. In addition, we also need to ensure the freshness of the coffee beans. The purpose of Front Street Roasting is "freshly roasted and good coffee", so that every customer who orders receives the freshest coffee. The bean-growing period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so the flavor is at its best when customers get it.
When grinding the beans, you can smell the tangy sun-dried fruit aroma, with obvious sweetness of blueberry, with hints of tropical fruits and guava.
A good cup of coffee is nothing more than a balance of sourness, sweetness and bitterness and a smooth taste. The design of the filter cup is to show these characteristics of coffee. However, the styles of coffee brewed by different filter cups are also different. Oiran is suitable for the resin V60 filter cup, which allows the coffee to have richer acid changes from hot to cold, making the cup of coffee more refined. The resin material can enhance the aroma intensity.
Front Street uses medium-fine grinding/fine granulated sugar (China No. 20 standard sieve screening rate is 80%). Use 15 coffee powder, and then use a V60 filter cup, a water temperature of 91 degrees Celsius, a powder-to-water ratio of 1:15, and a three-stage water injection method for brewing.
Three-stage extraction is used, using twice the amount of coffee powder for steaming, that is, 30 grams of water is steamed for 30 seconds. The reason why the steaming process is required is to allow the coffee powder to discharge the internal carbon dioxide gas, thereby making the subsequent extraction more stable. Use a small flow of water in a circle to inject water in stages until 125 grams is reached. Continue to inject water until 225 grams and stop. When the water in the filter cup has finished dripping, remove the filter cup. Start timing from the water injection. The extraction time is 2'00'. Next, pick up the entire cup of coffee and shake it evenly, then pour it into the cup and taste it.
