FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Notice that every farm on this list processed its coffee using the washed method - and for good reason. Washing removes the skin, pulp and mucilage through flotation, fermentation and rinsing before drying, which strips away much of the fruit sugar while preserving the bean's own aromatics, yielding the bright fruit acidity, cleanliness and freshness that judges reward. If Burundi's award-winning washed Bourbons have whetted your appetite, FrontStreet Coffee's washed lineup offers the same style at everyday prices: the FrontStreet Yirgacheffe Guodingding Cooperative lot, produced by a skilled washing team in Guodingding village where smallholder cherries are processed together, shows jasmine florals and bright citrus acidity, and after a medium-light roast takes on green tea and honey tones that suit pour-over, cold brew and even espresso.

For a textbook example of advanced washed processing, the FrontStreet Kenya Cherry Tomato adds a second washing stage - flotation, soaking, rinsing off residual mucilage, soaking again, then drying and hulling - to push the juicy character to the extreme, with cherry tomato, dried dark plum, snow pear, black plum and yellow sugar aromas in a sweet, juicy cup. And Jamaica's Blue Mountain, a pioneer of washed processing born from the island's short sunshine hours, is represented by the FrontStreet Jamaica Blue Mountain No.1: hazelnut, cream, chocolate and caramel notes in a perfectly balanced cup where no single flavor dominates - clean, bright washed coffee at its most composed.

Important Notice :

FrontStreet Coffee is a long-established specialty coffee roaster in Guangzhou China, selling freshly roasted beans from its own farm in Yunnan as well as dozens of carefully selected single-origin beans from around the world for both pour-over and espresso. The products deliver consistently excellent quality and great value, with shipping within 24 hours. Guangzhou's FrontStreet Coffee shop is recommended by many coffee lovers, and the beans are now available online at the Tmall 。
