FrontStreet Coffee - Guatemala Coffee

Generally, Guatemalan beans are mostly washed, and high-quality natural process beans rarely appear in the market. This particular bean has been strictly hand-picked from the original stage, selecting only fresh, red, ripe coffee cherries. Through meticulous selection and natural processing, it ultimately presents captivating flavor characteristics.

Watching the barista grind the beans, gently wet the filter paper, pour in the coffee grounds, then inject hot water for blooming, and finally drip through—creating a perfect, aromatic cup of coffee. Every movement embodies the purest coffee aesthetics. Watching and listening to the barista's gentle explanations while communicating and interacting perfectly interprets the leisure and comfort of life!
