This batch, supplied by Japan's Ishikoshi Trading Co., Ltd., is popular in the Japanese specialty coffee world — so much so that many young people in Japan give this coffee as a Valentine's Day gift instead of chocolate.

Chocora is selected from lots with distinctive flavors drawn from 20 farms in Santo Antônio do Amparo, characterized by a rich texture and long-lasting sweetness. The quality-control team at Ishikoshi Japan has consistently held that this is a coffee worth giving to everyone.

The production-region director aims to cultivate high-quality coffee with a genuine "regional flavor," ensuring both sustainability and stability. Because the natural sun-drying process leaves the skin, pulp and pectin on the bean, it preserves more organic matter, minerals and soluble solids. The result is a strong chocolate flavor, a clear and rich texture, and an incredibly sweet aftertaste.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Brazilian coffee earns its reputation on balance: moderate acidity, a good sense of sweetness, bitterness and body, and a nutty aroma that suits a medium roast. For anyone wanting to taste the Cerrado style, FrontStreet's Brazil Cerrado Red Bourbon is a textbook single-origin lot — a medium roast with creamy peanut, toasted bread, caramel and hazelnut aromas, a rounded body, low acidity and a gentle bittersweet finish. It works as pour-over and equally well in a moka pot, as espresso SOE, in a siphon or in a French press.

For something sweeter and cleaner, FrontStreet's Brazil Queen's Estate comes from Mogiana, near South Minas, where fertile red volcanic soil feeds the fruit. Its rare Yellow Bourbon — a natural mutation of Red Bourbon — gives a cleaner fruit profile, with a sugarcane sweetness not found in other regions alongside fruit and chocolate notes.
