Newcomers to coffee might ask: What are "daily coffee beans"? Why are they called "daily beans"? FrontStreet Coffee is here to explain what "daily beans" are.

For beginners who want to drink coffee, choosing the right coffee can be challenging. They may not know which coffee tastes good or how to choose, and want to try different options before deciding on their preferred flavors. This is where the concept of "daily coffee beans" comes in. These coffee bean packages come in moderate quantities at affordable prices, with a variety of options available. This is beneficial for coffee beginners as it's not expensive and allows them to taste multiple coffee flavors, thus avoiding difficult choices and waste.

Therefore, FrontStreet Coffee has introduced "daily coffee beans." These beans represent FrontStreet Coffee's signature offerings, featuring distinctive regional flavors. FrontStreet Coffee carefully selects beans with the most representative local flavors from major coffee-producing regions and packages them in 100g sample sizes. Examples include the lemon acidity of the most renowned Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, the herbal notes of Indonesian Mandheling, and the chocolate and nut aromas of Costa Rican Tarrazú, among others. Currently, FrontStreet Coffee has introduced eight different coffees from various countries and regions for everyone to choose from.

Next, FrontStreet Coffee will introduce in detail the unique characteristics of these eight classic "FrontStreet Coffee Daily Beans."

FrontStreet Coffee: Washed Yirgacheffe Daily Beans

Country: Ethiopia
Region: Yirgacheffe
Altitude: 1800-2000m
Variety: Local Heirloom Varieties
Processing: Washed
Bean Appearance: Small-sized beans, relatively round, very small bean body

Yirgacheffe coffee is the most representative coffee from Ethiopia and receives high praise from coffee connoisseurs worldwide. Therefore, with such an excellent coffee variety, FrontStreet Coffee naturally wants to share it with everyone!

Yirgacheffe is located on the eastern side of the East African Rift Valley, a small town in the Sidamo province of Ethiopia. It was separately designated due to its unique coffee flavors. With altitudes between 1700-2100 meters, it's one of the world's highest-altitude coffee-growing regions and synonymous with Ethiopian specialty coffee.

These mountain villages where coffee cherries are grown are shrouded in mist with spring-like conditions year-round. Summers bring gentle breezes—cool but not hot, rainy but not humid—while winters avoid frost damage. As a result, Yirgacheffe coffee exhibits distinct floral and citrus or lemon notes. The washed beans have a clean taste with bright fruit acidity and prominent tea-like qualities. FrontStreet Coffee believes it's only this unique geography and climate that can cultivate such distinctive regional flavors of citrus and florals. Meanwhile, Yirgacheffe is also the representative choice for coffee lovers seeking floral and fruity coffee flavors.

The refined washed whiskey sherry barrel fermentation processing method involves first subjecting freshly harvested coffee cherries to refined washing, then placing them in whiskey oak barrels that have previously aged sherry wine for low-temperature fermentation for 30-40 days (at approximately 15-20°C), followed by drying in the shade.

Colombia is rich in natural resources, with coffee, flowers, gold, and emeralds known as the "four treasures."

According to FrontStreet Coffee's research, early coffee varieties planted in Colombia were Typica and Bourbon. Caturra is a natural variant of the Arabica Bourbon variety, and this coffee bean from FrontStreet Coffee is precisely the Caturra variety.

The Tarrazú region is the most representative, located south of Costa Rica's capital, San José, and is the most valued coffee-producing region. Most of Costa Rica's finest coffees come from this region. For example, in the 2020 Costa Rica Cup of Excellence results, 9 of the top 26 coffees came from the Tarrazú region, with three taking the top three places. This demonstrates that the Tarrazú region is a veteran producer of high-quality coffee. Costa Rican coffee has always been known for its balanced flavors, rich chocolate notes, and smooth texture.

Coffee produced in Guatemala belongs to the world's top-tier coffees, primarily featuring Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, and Catuai varieties. The coffee belt is mainly distributed at altitudes above 1500 meters, boasting tropical rainforests, volcanic geology, and diverse microclimate conditions, which give the coffee beans from this region their unique flavors.

Guatemala produces coffee beans with rich fruit aromas, known for their elegant and lively acidity, clean taste without impurities, and distinct layers. For most of the 20th and 21st centuries, it was ranked as the largest coffee-producing country in Central America. Guatemala has eight major coffee-producing regions, and these eight regions are typically used to describe the highest grade S.H.B. (Strictly Hard Bean) coffees. Among them, coffees from the five volcanic regions and three non-volcanic regions are all very unique and enjoy a high reputation in the international market.

FrontStreet Coffee: Yunnan Xiao Li

Country: China
Region: Baoshan, Yunnan
Altitude: 1200m
Variety: Catimor
Processing: Washed
Bean Appearance: Round and full

In 1892, a French missionary brought coffee seeds from Vietnam to Yunnan and successfully planted them in a valley in Binchuan County, Yunnan Province. This marked the beginning of Yunnan coffee, generally referred to as small-seed coffee, commonly known as "Yunnan Xiao Li" (small bean) coffee domestically.

FrontStreet Coffee also grows Typica and small amounts of Bourbon in its Yunnan plantations. Of course, Catimor and Typica are not inherently conflicting—one represents mass production, the other represents specialty coffee. The significance of specialty coffee is to improve quality, while mass production aims to increase yield. Yunnan's choice to focus on Catimor reveals the underlying purpose behind this decision.

FrontStreet Coffee Brewing Technique Recommendations

FrontStreet Coffee recommends using the water temperature, coffee-to-water ratio, and grind size recommended for each bean. Use 30g of water for blooming for 30 seconds, then pour to 125g in stages. When the water level drops and is about to expose the coffee bed, continue pouring to 225g and stop. When the water level drops and is about to expose the coffee bed again, remove the filter cup. (Timing starts from the beginning of blooming) The extraction time is approximately two minutes.
