Summer is approaching, and many friends like to make some iced coffee. Among them, cold brewed coffee is simple, and everyone can make iced coffee at home! So are there specific coffee beans for cold brew coffee?
How to make cold brew coffee
Cold brew coffee is a very easy method to master. FrontStreet Coffee's cold brew method is based on 50 grams of coffee powder. The grinding thickness of the coffee powder is 85% using a No. 20 standard sieve. Put the coffee powder into a glass bottle, then add 400 ml of room temperature water and 200 grams of hard ice cubes (a total of 600 grams of ice-water mixture) into the bottle. The powder-to-water ratio is 1:12. Then use a stirring rod to stir the coffee powder and water evenly, then seal and place in the refrigerator.
After placing it in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours, use filter paper to filter out the coffee grounds to obtain clean coffee liquid. Then use a clean sealed bottle to store the coffee liquid and refrigerate it for about 4 hours before drinking. Considering food safety issues, Front Street recommends that the prepared cold brew should be consumed within 5 days.
So what coffee beans are recommended for cold brew coffee?
The liquid displayed by cold brew coffee is not as clear as ice-drip coffee, and a thin layer of oil will float on the surface, making the flavor slightly thicker and more balanced. It is recommended to use some medium-light roasted coffee beans, which can express the cool and clean feeling of cold brew coffee.
If you want a refreshing juice flavor, you can choose lightly roasted washed coffee. We recommend Front Street Washed Yirgacheffe (floral, citrus) and Front Street Kenyan Cherry Tomato (Sydney, ebony);
If you want a stronger fruity wine aroma, you can use coffee processed by anaerobic sun-drying and honey treatment. We recommend Front Street Colombian Hija (passion fruit, grape), Front Street Big Navel (berry, apricot), Front Street Strawberry Candy (rose, preserved fruit);
If you don’t like coffee with sour taste and just like a balanced and rich “coffee flavor”, you can choose Front Street Papua Bird of Paradise (nuts, toast).
You can now buy the above coffee beans online at the Taobao store “FrontStreet Coffee” (前街咖啡). FrontStreet Coffee is a long-established specialty coffee roaster in Guangzhou, China, and its Guangzhou retail shop sells coffee beans only. The shop carries dozens of coffee beans from different origins around the world, including carefully selected single-origin beans for V60 pour-over and espresso. Guangzhou’s FrontStreet Coffee shop is recommended by many coffee lovers.
The FrontStreet 2013 Yunnan coffee beans sold in the store come from the Typica variety grown at FrontStreet Coffee’s own plantation in Yunnan. The name comes from the year the brand and the plantation were founded. You can buy these beans from China’s Yunnan origin at the Guangzhou shop and at FrontStreet’s Taobao store.
