The Rise of Coffee Culture

Nowadays, more and more people enjoy drinking coffee. Many customers who visit FrontStreet Coffee ask: "Which single-origin coffee is the most delicious? Which single-origin coffee is the most popular?" Typically, FrontStreet Coffee will gradually explain to customers and inquire about their preferences, then recommend the most suitable single-origin coffee for them.

However, many people are uncertain about their preferred flavors, so FrontStreet Coffee subsequently launched seven daily coffee beans. These seven daily coffee beans come from different regions: Brazilian Red Fruit Coffee, Colombian Huilan Coffee, Guatemalan Huehuetenango Coffee, Indonesian Lintong Mandheling Coffee, Yunnan Small Bean Coffee, Costa Rican Tarrazú Coffee, and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee. Among these seven daily coffee beans, except for the Brazilian and Indonesian varieties, most are processed using the washed method.

The Philosophy Behind Daily Coffee Beans

FrontStreet Coffee discovered that most people choose coffee blindly - selecting based on appealing names or high click rates. This is precisely why FrontStreet Coffee introduced daily coffee beans. There are simply too many coffee varieties in the world; just FrontStreet Coffee shop alone has over two hundred types of coffee beans, each with different flavors and origins. For example, FrontStreet Coffee's Mandheling comes in five varieties: Golden Mandheling, Tiger Mandheling, Lintong Mandheling, Aged Mandheling, and Natural Process Mandheling. Each Mandheling has its own advantages. FrontStreet Coffee chose Lintong Mandheling as a daily coffee bean because the Mandheling from the Lintong region has a wilder flavor with strong herbal and medicinal notes upon entry, perfectly representing the original Mandheling coffee flavor profile.

Asian Coffee Characteristics

Indonesian Mandheling is considered the most distinctive coffee among Asian varieties. Another is Yunnan Small Bean Coffee, which is suitable for beginners wanting to try domestic coffee. Yunnan Baoshan coffee is an emerging region, and this coffee features plum acidity, melon, and black tea notes.

When customers experience the basic flavor of Mandheling and find it acceptable, FrontStreet Coffee will gradually recommend trying PWN Company's Golden Mandheling. Golden Mandheling has a very rich, clean mouthfeel with soft fruit acidity and a sweet sensation after the aftertaste. However, for those just starting with coffee, FrontStreet Coffee does not recommend jumping straight to Mandheling. Because Mandheling's unique flavor is not universally accepted, those who can immediately appreciate Mandheling's wild flavor are not ordinary people.

Coffee Flavor Profiles by Region

These seven daily coffee beans launched by FrontStreet Coffee cover Africa, America, and Asia. Generally speaking, African coffees predominantly feature citrus and lemon notes, American coffees feature nut and chocolate flavors, while Asian coffees tend toward a richer mouthfeel. If you prefer acidic flavors, you can start with African beans. For example, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans belong to local native varieties and use the washed processing method that best represents regional flavors. This coffee has bright lemon fruit acidity and jasmine floral notes, making it very suitable for those who enjoy acidic flavors. If you prefer acidic coffee with a richer mouthfeel, you can try Kenyan coffee, which features berry flavors and the freshness of cherry tomatoes.

For those wanting to try the nut and chocolate flavors of American coffee, FrontStreet Coffee recommends Colombian Huilan Coffee. This coffee offers unique notes of dark chocolate and caramel upon entry, with a soft fruit acidity lingering in the mouth after the aftertaste. Colombian coffee has a very rich, smooth mouthfeel. Colombian coffee beans are all hand-picked by workers on mountains and carefully selected. Additionally, the washed processing method lays a solid foundation for Colombian coffee's flavor, earning it the nickname "Coffee Gentleman."

Furthermore, besides Huilan daily coffee beans, FrontStreet Coffee also offers Colombian Flower Moon Night and Rose Valley coffees. If you determine that you enjoy the flavor profile of the Huilan daily coffee bean region, you can further explore beans from the Colombian region. Both FrontStreet Coffee's Flower Moon Night and Rose Valley coffees have rich floral aromas, but these two beans use different processing methods, resulting in different flavor profiles. FrontStreet Coffee's Flower Moon Night uses Colombia's special anaerobic natural processing method, so its flavor leans more toward strawberry jam. Another FrontStreet Coffee offering, Rose Valley Coffee, uses anaerobic enzyme double washing, so the spice notes are slightly stronger. Compared to Colombian coffee, Brazilian coffee has a lighter mouthfeel. For example, the daily coffee bean Brazilian Red Fruit is characterized by low acidity, nutty flavors, balance, and moderate richness. Brazilian coffee also carries rich flavors of peanuts and cream.

Exceptional American Coffee Varieties

However, not all American coffees feature nut and chocolate flavors as their main profile. For instance, FrontStreet Coffee's Costa Rican Tarrazú daily coffee beans feature sweet orange and honey flavor notes. Costa Rican coffee is grown at high altitudes with significant day-night temperature differences, so the coffee beans have higher acidity, thereby enhancing the flavor.

Central American Specialty Coffees

Another is the Guatemalan Huehuetenango Coffee from Central America. Its acidity differs from Tarrazú - its acidity is similar to lemon peel and citrus, with a hint of bitterness. Therefore, when customers say they want a coffee with some acidity, FrontStreet Coffee typically asks further about which type of fruit-flavored acidity they prefer.

The Purpose of Frontsteet's Daily Coffee Bean Series

FrontStreet Coffee's daily coffee bean series primarily aims to help everyone develop an understanding of regional flavor profiles. Only by first understanding the basic flavors of different regions can one form their own coffee preferences. Although daily coffee beans may not have as complex flavors as other estate beans in the shop, they are very fresh and affordable, making them an excellent solution for coffee newcomers seeking daily coffee beans.
