A Once-in-a-Century FrontStreet Coffee Ethiopian Washed Mocha Harar - A Delicious Coffee with Orange Peel and Premium Black Tea Notes

Harar is an important specialty coffee production area in the eastern highlands of Ethiopia. According to Ethiopia's administrative divisions, Harar is an autonomous state that has been a renowned coffee trading hub since ancient times, serving as a gateway to eastern Ethiopia. It is most famous for the 19th-century French poet Arthur Rimbaud, who once worked as a coffee merchant in this ancient city, demonstrating Harar's significant position in the world coffee market at that time.

Harar has a dry climate, and most of its coffee is processed using the natural method, traditionally known for its fruity aromas and red wine characteristics. However, natural processing also leads to inconsistent coffee bean quality, so if you can purchase high-quality Harar natural coffee beans, you should consider yourself fortunate.

Washed Harar is said to be among the first specialty products, specifically supplied to countries with strong demand for specialty coffee such as the United States and Japan. Upon release, it was immediately snapped up by buyers worldwide, making it extremely rare and scarce! (Beautiful emerald green washed Harar with only 1% defect rate). This rare FrontStreet Coffee washed Harar is sourced from coffee around the Harar region, finally processed uniformly in Harar. The coffee trees are basically planted in high-altitude mountain areas around 2,600 meters, with the variety being Heirloom (ancient varieties), and the beans are primarily long-shaped (a standard Harar characteristic).

FrontStreet Coffee Medium Roast Washed Harar - Different Flavor Profiles at Three Roast Levels

FrontStreet Coffee Medium-Light Roast Washed Harar:

The aroma has distinct honey and orange peel fragrances, with excellent sweetness expression. The most special feature is a black tea aroma, with a body that feels richer compared to typical Sidamo or Yirgacheffe.

FrontStreet Coffee Medium Roast Washed Harar:

The orange fragrance remains distinct, but due to added roasting notes, it's not as pronounced as the medium-light roast. However, due to increased caramelization, both body and sweetness have increased significantly. The black tea-like aroma is still present but slightly diminished, while the unique chocolate aroma of Mocha beans begins to emerge.

FrontStreet Coffee Medium-Dark Roast Washed Harar:

The orange and black tea aromas almost completely disappear, leaving only chocolate aroma as the main note, making the flavor profile appear rather monotonous.

FrontStreet Coffee recommends enjoying this rare washed Harar at medium-light or medium roast to experience its unique exotic charm where black tea fragrance and honey-orange notes intertwine!
