Flavor Characteristics

Wild berries, mango, pineapple, golden kiwi, lemon sandwich cookies, elegant acidity, and a smooth texture.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Ethiopian naturals like this one are all about ripe berry and tropical fruit sweetness, and FrontStreet Coffee's lineup delivers that in spades. The FrontStreet Sun-Dried Huakui comes from Hambella in Guji Sidamo, where traditional natural processing—drying whole cherries on raised beds for 21 days with regular turning—builds a light fermented wine aroma with floral, citrus, and mango notes. Roasted medium-light, it lands as honeyed sweetness with a cocoa edge and a touch of spice, full-bodied and lingering.

Want something a little more chocolate-friendly? The FrontStreet Yirgacheffe Sun-Dried Red Cherry is also a natural, made from fully ripe red cherries. It keeps the elegant floral and bright acidity of Yirgacheffe while adding pronounced tropical fruit, a full fermented sweetness, and notes of peach, cocoa, honey, and lemon—an easygoing way to enjoy the natural-process style.
