What is specialty coffee?
In the past, most people's impression of coffee was nothing more than bitterness, which comes from the flavor characteristics caused by dark roasting. With the changes of the times, coffee culture has also evolved into the third wave of medium roasting and light roasting. Among them, a new proper term has emerged - specialty coffee. The simple definition of specialty coffee is high-quality coffee that can express the unique flavor of the production area. Below, Fianjie selects high-quality representative coffees from different origins.
Front Street Coffee currently has more than 50 types of coffee beans on the shelves, including a variety of high-quality single-origin coffee beans from major coffee producing areas around the world. A cup of delicious coffee is inseparable from the freshness of the coffee beans. Front Street deeply understands that the freshness of the coffee beans determines the flavor and aroma of the coffee, so all coffee beans shipped are sent out within 5 days after the roasting is completed.
