FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If you enjoy the clean, floral character of a Gedeb washed coffee, FrontStreet Yirgacheffe Gedingding is the closest match in the lineup. Gedingding is one of the most representative washed Yirgacheffe coffees, with excellent quality and a precise, elegant profile of white florals, citrus and orange, and green tea. It is a top-grade G1 Ethiopian bean, and its clean structure makes it a natural choice for pour-over.

For a fruitier contrast from the same region, FrontStreet Yirgacheffe Red Cherry uses a full-red-cherry natural process, showing citrus acidity, a juicy berry texture, honeyed sweetness, and a creamy smoothness, so you can compare washed precision against natural sweetness side by side.
