Like most people when they first encounter coffee, beginners typically start with instant coffee. There's also the situation where, while shopping, you occasionally like to visit a coffee shop for an espresso drink, following the crowd by ordering popular espresso drinks from the coffee menu. However, if you want to experience the different flavors of coffee, you might actually want to try specialty coffee's drip and pour-over brewing methods.

How to Choose Coffee

For beginners who are just starting to drink coffee, if you haven't yet understood coffee flavors, drinking specialty coffee can be quite wasteful, as specialty coffee is primarily not inexpensive. So if you want to learn about the major coffee-producing regions and different taste profiles of coffee, while also finding coffee that's not expensive and practical, then FrontStreet Coffee has such a series of daily staple beans that you can choose from. FrontStreet Coffee's daily staple bean series is a collection of high-cost-performance regional beans. While they may not match some aspects of beans from renowned estates, this collection allows you to experience the main flavors of major regions in a cost-effective way, enabling coffee beginners to identify their preferred regions at a very low price. Due to their affordability and practicality, they're perfect as a daily cup of coffee.

Most of FrontStreet Coffee's daily staple beans use the washed processing method, because the washed processing method represents a region's most basic flavor and is the starting point for understanding regional characteristics. Authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, for example, exclusively uses washed processing to ensure the presentation of Blue Mountain's most typical flavors. Of course, there are now additional natural processing methods. Now, let's briefly introduce several of FrontStreet Coffee's daily staple beans. Many factors influence a coffee bean, including the main terrain, climate, and processing methods.

FrontStreet Coffee Washed Yirgacheffe Daily Staple Bean

Yirgacheffe is a small town in Ethiopia, with three neighboring small producing areas: Wenago, Kochere, and Gelena Abaya. Because the coffee flavors produced in these areas share significant similarities with Yirgacheffe, these small producing areas have been incorporated into Yirgacheffe. In 1972, Ethiopia imported washed processing technology from Central and South America to improve coffee quality, making Yirgacheffe's jasmine floral aroma and citrus-lemon fragrance clearer and brighter, quickly becoming one of the world's representatives of specialty coffee.

FrontStreet Coffee Costa Rica Tarrazú Daily Staple Bean

Costa Rica has been cultivating coffee for over two hundred years, with a very mature coffee industry, and is one of the few countries worldwide that prohibits the cultivation of Robusta coffee beans (even the Catimor variety is not allowed), making it a country that places great importance on coffee quality. Costa Rican coffee's characteristics come from its unique honey processing method—drying while retaining some fruit pulp, giving Costa Rican coffee both the cleanliness of washed coffee and a slight sweetness reminiscent of natural processed coffee. Nutty as the main tone, while mixed with refreshing acidity, it's full-bodied while carrying a sugar-like sweetness.

Country: Costa Rica
Region: Tarrazú
Altitude: 1500m
Variety: Caturra, Catuai
Processing: Washed processing
Flavor: Sweet orange, honey, toffee, nuts
