FrontStreet Coffee Pour-Over Coffee Bean Brand Recommendation — Introduction to FrontStreet Coffee's Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

The coffee variety grown in Jamaica's Blue Mountains is Typica, a world-renowned superior coffee variety. The unique geographical advantages are essential factors in achieving the balanced flavor of Blue Mountain coffee. As an island nation in the Caribbean Sea, the sea breeze and Blue Mountains together bring abundant rainfall and fertile land to this coffee-growing area. The volcanic rock soil and relatively moderate altitude give FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee a mild and smooth flavor.

The Jamaica Coffee Industry Board stipulates that exported raw beans must have a defect rate no higher than 3%, with moisture content maintained at around 13%, and Blue Mountain coffee's roasted bean yield generally remains at 83%. According to the size of Blue Mountain raw beans, Blue Mountain coffee above 17 mesh is classified as NO.1, above 16 mesh as NO.2, and above 15 mesh as NO.3. Therefore, the fresh raw beans of FrontStreet Coffee's Jamaica Blue Mountain No.1 coffee that we commonly see are deep green in color, with a waxy texture, smooth, full, and round surface, like emeralds from Central America. As for roasted beans, each batch exported must pass cupping by the CIB's quality control manager before being approved for export.

Pure FrontStreet Coffee's Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee perfectly blends the unique sour, bitter, sweet, and mellow flavors in coffee, creating a strong and attractive elegant aroma that is unmatched by any other coffee. Additionally, high-quality fresh FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee has a particularly long-lasting flavor. Pure FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee has a relatively light taste and aroma, but it is very fragrant, mellow, and refined when drunk. Those who love FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee call it the "Coffee Beauty" that combines all the advantages of good coffee.

Typica Coffee Beans

Typica: Oval in shape, with a thin and flat body when viewed from the side. Both ends of Typica beans are slightly raised, and even if grown at different altitudes, the thickness difference on the side of the raw beans won't vary significantly. FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee is precisely a variety of Typica.

Many friends ask FrontStreet Coffee about choosing coffee beans for making pour-over coffee at home. It's actually quite simple. Beginners can purchase small quantities to practice. FrontStreet Coffee's 100g pack of daily coffee beans is very suitable. Don't worry if the brew isn't perfect—at 25 yuan per pack, the price isn't expensive, and there are discounts during promotions. Secondly, choose flavors you like: those with high acidity and floral-fruity aromas; those with low acidity and rich mouthfeel; and those with balanced sweet and sour notes. Choosing coffee flavors you enjoy is the right approach.
