2022 FrontStreet Coffee Premium Coffee Beans Price List FrontStreet Coffee Fresh Roasted Coffee Beans Price List

In the new year, FrontStreet Coffee continues its journey of bean sourcing and roasting. FrontStreet Coffee's new bean list is here! Each year, FrontStreet Coffee samples and cup-tests over 300 different coffee beans, but only about 50 varieties make the list — proof that every single-origin bean FrontStreet Coffee launches has distinctive character.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is the world's largest coffee gene bank. As the birthplace of coffee, it has nine premium specialty growing regions with rich variety diversity, and each region cultivates its own distinct flavors. Among them, Yirgacheffe and Sidamo — with their independent sub-regions — are the most renowned!

COE#22: The 22nd-place winning bean from Ethiopia's first Cup of Excellence competition, which FrontStreet Coffee participated in auctioning. A Typica variety from the Arsi region of Sidamo, natural-processed. Flavor profile: strawberry, lychee, fermented wine notes, and honey. Price: 108 yuan/100g.

TOH Washed Champion: The washed-category champion of the 2020 East African Harvest Season Flavor Competition, from the Uraga sub-region of Guji, featuring local heirloom varieties. Flavor profile: citrus, jasmine, honey, and pomelo tea. Price: 98 yuan/100g.

Yirgacheffe Natural Red Cherry: FrontStreet Coffee's classic natural-processed Yirgacheffe. The Red Cherry Project was championed by the Dutch green bean trader Trabocca, using fully red cherry processing to raise coffee quality. FrontStreet Coffee's lot comes from the Aricha processing station in Yirgacheffe, natural-processed local heirloom varieties. Flavor profile: berries, strawberry, lemon, and fermented wine notes. Price: 88 yuan/227g.

Yirgacheffe Kochere: The Kochere Cooperative is located in the Werka region at the southeastern end of Yirgacheffe town. Originally part of the Werka Cooperative, it was later discovered by coffee hunters for its excellent coffee flavor. A washed-processed heirloom variety. Flavor profile: citrus, berries, oolong tea, and honey. Price: 88 yuan/227g.

Arsi: A famous Sidamo coffee from the West Arsi region of Sidamo, natural-processed heirloom. Flavor profile: berries, honey, nectarine, and mango. Price: 80 yuan/227g.

Horse Queen 4.0: Famous since 2017, this coffee reached its fourth year in 2020 and was upgraded to version 4.0. The 4.0 beans are smaller than previous versions, and FrontStreet Coffee believes those small beans are the source of Horse Queen's strawberry flavor. Flavor profile: citrus, strawberry, and lemon tea. Price: 78 yuan/227g.

Chandelight: A masterpiece from the 90+ green bean trader, produced in Sidamo and natural-processed. Flavor profile: nectarine, tropical fruits, and cream. Price: 90 yuan/227g.

Gesha Village: As Ethiopia's only large estate producing Gesha coffee, Gesha Village guarantees excellent flavor and quality. FrontStreet Coffee's Gesha Village series comes in Gold Label and Red Label. Flavor profiles: [Gold Label] citrus, cream, fermented notes, tea-like sensation, and plum. [Red Label] citrus, cream, and fruit candy. Prices: [Gold Label] 158 yuan/100g; [Red Label] 108 yuan/100g.

Kenya

Kenya is Africa's second-largest coffee producer after Ethiopia. Though neighbors, their flavor profiles could hardly be more different. Kenyan coffee is harvested twice a year — once around November and once around July — and grows mainly in volcanic soil at altitudes around 2000 meters, where fertile soil nurtures Kenya's specialty coffee.

Assalia: A carefully selected FrontStreet Coffee lot with traditional Kenyan character, produced at the Asali processing station in the Thika region. The varieties are SL28 and SL34, processed by Kenya's 72-hour refined washed method. Flavor profile: cherry tomatoes, preserved plums, brown sugar, and a bright, clean finish. Price: 98 yuan/227g.

Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea is an island nation in the southwestern Pacific. Its first Typica was introduced from Jamaica's Blue Mountain, and it shares the same island-type growing environment — so Papua's coffee quality should not be underestimated.

Bird of Paradise: FrontStreet Coffee selected coffee from Papua's best estates — the Sigri estate's washed Typica, also known as Bird of Paradise coffee. Flavor profile: sugarcane, hazelnut, caramel, and nuts. Price: 88 yuan/227g.

Indonesia

Indonesian coffee has a long history and can arguably claim the title of Asian coffee's most classic representative. Its flavor is instantly recognizable, famed for rich mellowness.

Gold Mandheling: FrontStreet Coffee's Gold Mandheling is from PWN company's latest production season in October 2020, grown on Mount Gayo in Aceh, North Sumatra. It's of the Ateng variety, wet-hulled plus one machine sorting and three manual selections. The quality is high, with full, uniform beans. Flavor profile: nuts, caramel, herbal notes, chocolate, and a clean, mellow richness. Price: 89 yuan/227g.

Tiger Mandheling: From the Aceh region of North Sumatra, varieties Typica and Caturra, wet-hulled. Its biggest difference from Gold Mandheling is a special agarwood note; selection is also less strict. Flavor profile: herbal-medicine notes, pine resin, nuts, cream, and caramel. Price: 79 yuan/227g.

Aged Mandheling: The defining feature is aging. After normal wet-hulled processing, the beans are aged in the origin country, stored in temperature- and humidity-controlled or well-ventilated warehouses, regularly turned and checked — first to ensure even air exposure and consistent moisture, second to catch moldy or insect-damaged beans before they spread. Aged Mandheling matures for 2–3 years, during which acidity gradually converts to sugars and the color deepens to yellowish- or dark brown, making it highly recognizable. Flavor profile: pine resin, malt, caramel, aged Pu'er tea, herbal notes, and chocolate. Price: 89 yuan/227g.

Kopi Luwak: One of the most famous coffees — FrontStreet Coffee's Kopi Luwak comes from Indonesian Arabica beans fermented in the civet's digestive system. Flavor profile: herbal notes, nuts, dark chocolate, and fermented flavors. Price: 250 yuan/100g.

Jamaica

Jamaica produces coffee only in the Blue Mountain region. Excellent quality and low production make prices high, and it was called the best coffee of the last century.

Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee: FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain No. 1 comes from Clifton Farm, long-established and high-status in Blue Mountain, whose coffee quality has always been a benchmark. In 2020, a natural-processed version was added alongside the traditional washed. Flavor profiles: [Washed] dark chocolate, nuts, cream, and balance. [Natural] berries, dark cocoa, nuts, and fermented notes. Both are priced at 158 yuan/100g.

Hawaii

Hawaiian coffee is often named king and queen alongside Blue Mountain. A representative of island-type coffee, its quality is superb.

Kona: FrontStreet Coffee's Kona comes from Hawaii's Queen's Farm, which took second place in the 2009 and 2011 Gevalia (Hawaii KONA Cupping Competition) grand awards. Queen's Farm is known for high-quality coffee, with 70% of harvested beans considered among the world's top-tier specialty. Flavor profile: osmanthus, mulberry juice, malt sugar, and plum. Price: 120 yuan/100g.

Panama

As the most famous specialty coffee country, Panama's quality is almost universally acknowledged in the industry. Ever since Hacienda La Esmeralda's Gesha won the Best of Panama championship in 2004, the names Panama and Gesha have been inseparable, and today Panama coffee is nearly synonymous with the world's finest — it always makes any shortlist of the best coffee anywhere.

La Esmeralda Gesha: La Esmeralda's Gesha is the most representative of all, divided into three grades: Red Label, Green Label, and Blue Label.

[Red Label] Bright rose and citrus aromas, with brown rice, berries, apricot, complex fruits, honey, and a thick juice-like texture; rich flavor layers and noticeable sweetness. Price: 350 yuan/100g.

[Green Label] Enters with rich jasmine aroma, high sweetness, citrus, berries, juice-like texture, cream, green tea, orange peel, and cantaloupe, with rich flavor layers and a finish of persistent floral and citrus notes. Price: 168 yuan/100g.

[Blue Label] Enters with the soft acidity of lemon and grapefruit, and as the temperature drops slightly, reveals oolong tea, honey, and a sucrose sweet aftertaste, in a relatively clean and bright mouthfeel. Price: 98 yuan/100g.

Hartman Estate: FrontStreet Coffee's Hartman uses the red-wine (winey) processing method, borrowing winemaking techniques to process the beans. Flavor profile: floral notes, fermented wine aromas, citrus, kiwi, and liqueur chocolate. Price: 85 yuan/227g.

Flower Butterfly: Washed-processed, containing 70% Gesha and 30% Caturra and Catuai. Flavor profile: citrus, floral notes, and tea aromas. Price: 85 yuan/227g.

Costa Rica

The right timing, location, and people created Costa Rica's image of high-yield, high-quality coffee. Small in land area, it is nonetheless one of the world's most species-rich countries with abundant natural resources — true to its name, "rich coast." The coastal terrain is plains, while the center is isolated by rugged mountains.

Musician Series: FrontStreet Coffee sells the Musician Series including Bach (raisin honey processed), Mozart (anaerobic raisin), and Beethoven (washed). Their flavor profiles are respectively:

Bach Flavor: Smells like rice wine fermentation aroma, tastes with sweet and sour notes of mature tropical fruits and berries, with nut and cream flavors, caramel aftertaste, and a light floral finish.

Mozart Flavor: Smells of rich black grape aroma, with notes of raisins and sweet orange on entry. As temperature changes, fermented wine and osmanthus aromas become more apparent.

Beethoven Flavor: Green grapes, vanilla, strawberry, cantaloupe, and citrus aromas, with pomegranate juice acidity, excellent cleanliness, smooth mouthfeel, and a hint of green kiwi acidity.

The Musician Series is all priced at 90 yuan/227g.

Miratsu Gesha Blend: A masterpiece from Miratsu Estate, containing 50% Gesha variety, plus ET47, SL28, and MAICO varieties, raisin-honey processed. Flavor profile: floral notes, berry aromas, grapes, and strawberries. Price: 88 yuan/227g.

Colombia

Colombia is currently the world's third-largest coffee producer, primarily growing Arabica. It sits in northwestern South America, bordering Panama in Central America.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If Ethiopia is where you'd like to start, the classic entry point is FrontStreet Coffee's washed Yirgacheffe everyday lot: white jasmine florals, bright citrus and lemon acidity, and a tea-like elegance at an approachable price. Yirgacheffe is a small town in southern Ethiopia's Sidama zone at 1,700–2,100 meters, with coffee planted above 1,800 meters — among the highest elevations in the world — and its fame was such that in 2010 the Ethiopia Commodity Exchange formally separated it from Sidamo. For cooperative lots, the Worka (Guodingding) Cooperative at Yirgacheffe's southeastern tip delivers the traditional washed profile: no harsh bitterness, just fresh citrus, lemon acidity, and jasmine fragrance.

For the natural side, FrontStreet Coffee's Red Cherry lot dries only fully ripe cherries whole for three to five weeks, turning every 2–3 hours early on: citrus acidity with berry juiciness, honey sweetness, and creamy smoothness. The natural Hua Kui from Hambella in Guji — 200 hectares, 21 days on raised beds — adds a faint fermented wine aroma, florals, citrus, and mango over a thick, long-finishing body. Recipe: V60, 15 g of coffee, 1:15 ratio, 90–91°C water, medium-fine grind (80% through a #20 sieve), 30 g bloom for 30 seconds, pours to 125 g and 225 g, finishing between 2:00 and 2:10.
