FrontStreet Coffee's Honduras Lychee Orchiid Brewing Guide

In recent years, we've encountered various barrel processing methods such as whiskey barrel, rum barrel, and brandy barrel treatments. These methods generally follow similar approaches but creatively utilize actual barrels for fermentation, allowing coffee beans to acquire distinct alcoholic flavors.

FrontStreet Coffee's Honduras Moca Manor Lychee Orchiid uses precisely the brandy barrel processing method. After the coffee cherries undergo fine washing, they are placed in authentic brandy oak barrels and fermented at 15-20°C for 30-40 days, followed by shade drying. The processed coffee exhibits prominent lychee and brandy flavors.

Notable flavors: Lychee, brandy, honey, chocolate

Honduran coffee beans frequently undergo barrel fermentation, and these special processing methods have played a crucial role in promoting the country's coffee. FrontStreet Coffee's Moca Manor Lychee Orchiid cupping uses the brandy barrel fermentation process. The coffee contains no alcohol, only brandy flavor, so there's no concern about driving under the influence. We've noticed that demands for flavors are becoming increasingly refined, which is a positive trend for the development of the coffee industry.

Pour-over Brewing

Equipment & Parameters: Filter: Hario V60, Water Temperature: 90°C, Coffee-to-water ratio: 1:15; Grind size: Medium-fine (BG-6S: 58% pass-through rate on China standard #20 sieve)

Brewing Method: Staged extraction. Use 30g of water for a 40-second bloom (extended slightly due to the freshness of the beans and their active gases). When continuing the pour to 124g, create a stage break. When the water level drops and is about to expose the coffee bed, continue pouring until reaching 228g, then stop. Remove the filter cone when the water level drops again and is about to expose the coffee bed (timing starts from the beginning of the bloom). Total extraction time: 2'00".

FrontStreet Coffee's Lychee Orchiid Flavor Notes: Initial taste reveals lychee, brandy, dark chocolate, and cream. As the temperature changes, the alcoholic notes and dark chocolate become more prominent, with a rich mouthfeel and distinctly sweet aftertaste.
