90+ Perci Coffee: What Are the Flavors of Perci Coffee and Introduction to Its Taste Characteristics

FrontStreet Coffee - 90+ Perci Coffee Introduction

Origin of the Name

The name "Perci" comes from "perspective." It was chosen because during the routine sensory evaluations of this coffee, the tasters were hit with a completely unexpected stimulus - a sensation that changed how they perceived what coffee could be. Drawing on the meaning of the word, the coffee was named "Perci," a reminder of just how much this lot impressed everyone who cupped it.

In the first blind tasting, everyone was convinced they were drinking an Ethiopian natural - and equally certain it was not a Geisha. The signature Geisha markers of chamomile, orange, and jasmine were present, but only as a small fraction of the overall profile. Alongside them came mango, pineapple, carob, banana, plum, red grape, honey, peach, red coral, and many more flavors besides.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If Perci's tropical, fruit-forward style speaks to you, FrontStreet Coffee's Esmeralda Geisha range offers a classic Panama counterpart. The Green Label (Private Collection) blends batches from multiple high-altitude plots to showcase Esmeralda's signature Geisha character - and because it skips the single-plot traceability of the Red Label, it's noticeably more affordable and outstanding value.

Prefer to keep exploring fruit-driven naturals? The FrontStreet Genlana Estate Gesha from Ethiopia comes from a washing station on the border of Kochere and Gelena Abaya, run by Israel Degefa since 2014. Only fully ripe cherries are hand-picked and sun-dried on raised beds for 14-20 days, then roasted medium-light, yielding bright citrus acidity, elegant ginger-flower aromatics, and the plush sweetness of ripe fruit - a different hemisphere, the same addictive fruit intensity.
