What is Organic Coffee?

Organic coffee is grown without any pesticides or other chemical agents to deal with pests, disease or cultivation problems. Instead it relies on natural methods — natural compost, hedging and pruning — to keep the coffee trees healthy. For pest control, purely natural biological measures are used, such as planting protective trees and applying a range of other natural agricultural techniques. The point is that organic coffee farms actively prioritise the sustainability of the land, the water supply and the wider natural ecology.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

FrontStreet Sun-Dried Hua Kui Coffee — An entry-level lot that shows how much fruit flavor a carefully grown, naturally processed coffee can carry. Hua Kui comes from the Hambella area of Guji, Sidamo, from a 200-hectare farm using the traditional sun-dried method. Cherries are spread on raised beds for 21 days and turned constantly to dry evenly, with defective or mouldy beans removed by hand every three to five days, so nothing mouldy or earthy reaches the cup. Given a medium-light roast, it shows strawberry and tropical fruit aromas with florals, honey and black tea in the finish — approachable and full of character.

FrontStreet Yunnan Small-Grain Coffee — A domestic origin that is easy to fall in love with. Yunnan small-grain is another name for Arabica: it is the smallest of the three original coffee species. Yunnan's generous geography and climate mean the trees can be grown with simple, natural practices, and this lot from the Baoshan region is washed and given a medium roast. It shows soft nut and chocolate sweetness with a light plum acidity, making it an inviting introduction to Chinese-grown coffee.

FrontStreet Costa Rica Black Berry Coffee — Costa Rica's high planting altitudes, wide day-night temperature swings and rich volcanic soil make it a natural source of SHB-grade beans with elegant aromatics, and the country is best known for honey processing, in which the mucilage is left around the bean as it dries for a pronounced sweetness. FrontStreet's Black Berry uses a black honey process and shows grape and blueberry sweetness with notes of osmanthus and rose. Whether brewed as pour-over, cold brew, americano or latte, it brings out that clean Costa Rican sweetness.
