FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If you love the ripe-berry, light-fermentation character of this natural Sidamo, the FrontStreet Ethiopia Huakui is a natural you should not miss. It comes from the Hambella area of Guji in Sidamo, where the traditional sun-drying method leaves the fruit intact as the cherries dry on raised beds, letting the seed soak up the sweetness of the pulp.

Roasted medium-light, it shows a light fermented wine aroma, florals, citrus, and mango, with honey sweetness and a subtle cocoa note. The body is thick and the finish lingers, so it is a wonderful everyday way to enjoy the same rich, fruity style as this Ardi G1.
