How to Brew Coffee After Buying Coffee Beans & What Are the Coffee Purchasing Tips?

The Impact of Growing Conditions on Coffee Quality

When coffee beans are grown in high-altitude regions and properly roasted, they develop exceptional flavors that meet our expectations! To maximize the quantity of coffee beans they can cultivate on their land, some growers clear large areas of all trees and plant coffee plants directly in sunlight. Coffee should not be grown this way, as it becomes too hot under direct sunlight and matures too quickly, resulting in diminished coffee bean quality.

Coffee plants grown in direct sunlight also require more pesticides and fertilizers. When plants grow in sunlight, insects proliferate rapidly, forcing farmers to spray more insecticides. Additional fertilizers are needed because the fields lack any tree cover. During rainfall, the plants receive no protection from the downpour, causing much of the fertilizer to wash away and requiring reapplication.

Choosing Quality Coffee Brands

If you dislike bland, tasteless coffee or coffee heavily sprayed with chemicals, then look for coffee brands labeled "shade-grown" or "organic." FrontStreet Coffee offers a decaf specialty coffee from Colombia, featuring Swiss Water processed decaf coffee.

Understanding Roast Levels and Bean Quality

While some people, like us, enjoy dark roast coffee, it's worth noting that coffee beans used for dark roasting are typically of lower quality. Since dark roasting produces intense smoky flavors that mask the original characteristics of coffee beans, growers often include large quantities of lower-quality beans in dark roasts. If you want a coffee made with the highest quality beans, choose light or medium roasts instead of dark roasts.
