Now more and more friends are getting into the traphand brewed coffeeWith so many coffee beans, many friends have difficulty choosing again. Generally speaking,hand brewed coffeeThe coffee beans used are all single-origin beans.single origin beansIt refers to coffee beans from a single origin (from one estate/cooperative or multiple estates/cooperatives from a single origin), so the quality is more guaranteed.
Choosing the flavor you want among the dazzling array of single-origin coffee beans is indeed a very tangled thing. This time, Front Street divided the many single-origin coffee beans into 7 categories: fruity aroma, floral aroma, obvious fermentation, obvious sweetness, balanced coffee flavor, high mellowness, and nutty cocoa. These 7 types can roughly represent the coffee beans from the production areas that are currently popular among the public. Let’s take a look at what these flavored coffee beans are!
| Fruity
Most of the fruity Pour over(V60) coffee beans come from coffee beans in Ethiopian production areas. Among them, the well-known production area Yirgacheffe has become synonymous with people describing Ethiopian coffee. During the cupping test, FrontStreet Coffee found that Front Street Washed Yirgacheffe has a clean and refreshing taste, with bright and rising acidity. It is based on the acidity of citrus, accompanied by the fresh jasmine fragrance and the aftertaste of honey. It is very suitable for novices and those who like small fresh tastes.

At 166℃, the firepower drops to 100, and at 176℃, the firepower drops to 80, while the damper remains unchanged. At 8'28", ugly wrinkles and black spots appear on the surface of the beans, and the smell of toast obviously changes to the aroma of coffee. It can be defined as the prelude to the first crack.

|Floral
When it comes to floral coffee beans, we have to talk about the Gesha coffee variety. Panama Jade Manor Geisha is planted in a windbreak forest. The strong wind and low temperature of the windbreak forest make it impossible for ordinary coffee trees to grow in such a harsh environment. However, this mysterious variety of coffee tree is happy and contented. The coffee berries are fatter than half of the varieties and are not easily blown off. Although the yield is only 25%-30% of that of Caturra, the floral and orange fragrance is very charming.
The strange thing is that this variety is also planted in areas below 1400m, but it lacks the floral and orange aroma and has a more bitter taste. Front Street has cupped the Gesha coffee beans from Panama Emerald Estate in Front Street. Whether it is red label, green label or blue label, whether it is washed or sun-dried, the Gesha coffee beans produced here exude this charming floral aroma.

|Obvious fermentation feeling
If you recommend something with obvious fermentation,coffee beans, Front Street thought of Front Street Costa Ricacoffee beans. Costa Rica's coffee beans are mostly processed using the local original honey processing method. Front Street believes that the honey processing coffee has a balanced sourness and sweetness, and because it has been exposed to the sun, the aroma of the coffee beans itself will be amplified and the mellow taste will be strong. As the honey processing technology matures, people have improved the honey processing and created the raisin honey processing method, which has increased the difficulty of the honey processing method. However, the fermentation and aroma of the coffee beans are more intense and the coffee flavor has the taste of white wine and balanced sourness.

Nope~ Red cherry refers to the fact that coffee farmers only harvest fully ripe coffee fruits. Because the shape and color resemble red cherries, everyone naturally calls coffee cherries coffee cherries. The pectin and pulp of fully mature coffee fruits contain a large amount of sugar.
