FrontStreet Coffee · Yirgacheffe SOE French Press Brewing Recommendation

Today, I want to introduce a coffee called FrontStreet Coffee's Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is a famous coffee town in Ethiopia, located on the northwest side of Sidamo, surrounded by mountains and lakes. It is one of the highest altitude coffee growing regions in Ethiopia, with an average altitude of 1700-2000 meters. It has been wetland since ancient times and is synonymous with fine Ethiopian coffee beans. The mountain villages here are shrouded in mist, with spring-like weather year-round, nurturing the unique citrus and floral aromas of FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is truly a paradise for coffee cultivation. In the ancient language, "Yirga" means "settle down," while "Cheffe" means "wetland," so Yirgacheffe means: let us settle down on this wetland.

I love FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe, not just for its beautiful meaning, but more so because its taste is truly wonderful. I like to let the coffee liquid swirl and stay in my mouth for a while before swallowing. Wow! You can feel the rich lemon acidity and a faint orange fragrance; when you drink it again, you can sense the bright orange aroma and jasmine fragrance, with a hint of honey sweetness lingering on your tongue; just when you think that's all it has to offer, it releases a creamy and chocolate-like silkiness, delicate and rich, a truly amazing feeling. She is my goddess, undisputed!
