FrontStreet Coffee · Ethiopia Sidamo Natural Process Guji花魁 Coffee

"FrontStreet Coffee Sidamo花魁" features rich characteristics of passion fruit, peach, and berries, with a wonderful flavor that is unforgettable after tasting.

Only "Buku Abel" from the Hambella region produces natural process coffee beans that are the authentic FrontStreet Coffee Sidamo花魁. Currently, there are nearly 20 processing plants in the Hambella region. Among all estates and processing plants, only the natural process coffee from Buku Abel Estate is what we call FrontStreet Coffee Sidamo花魁.

Buku Abel is a small village surrounded by mountains on the African continent at an altitude of 2280 meters. December is its coffee harvest season each year. During this time, the mountains are covered with bright red ripe coffee cherries, neatly arranged on African sun-drying beds in the village. This is where "花魁" is processed.

The coffee trees at Buku Abel Estate are all planted on the mountainside at altitudes ranging from 2250 to 2350 meters. Farmers only begin natural processing when the sugar content of the red cherries reaches above 30. During the first two days of natural processing, it's essential to maintain the moisture of the red cherries, allowing sufficient time for fermentation. At night, the temperature here drops to around 12 degrees Celsius, which prevents the cherries from over-fermenting.

After 18 days of natural processing, the fruit skin and pulp are completely dehydrated, making it easy to extract the raw coffee beans inside. The raw beans are packaged and stored in warehouses at 12-22 degrees Celsius with 45-55% humidity for about 50 days of bean resting and further dehydration. When the moisture content reaches about 11%, the beans are hulled and sorted for formal market sale.
