What Varieties of Cocoa Chocolate Flavored Coffee Beans Exist? Fazenda Rainha Yellow Bourbon Low-Acidity Coffee Beans - Premium Pour-Over Coffee Flavor Review
For those who don't enjoy acidic coffee beans, are there any non-acidic options available? Absolutely! This Panama Queen Estate coffee comes from Fazenda Rainha (Queen Estate), a 280-acre plantation located in an ancient volcanic valley in Brazil called Vale da Grama. In 2011, the estate won first place in Brazil's Cup of Excellence competition.
Fazenda Rainha belongs to the renowned and respected Brazilian coffee family Carvalho Dias. Since the first Brazilian COE competition in 1999, the four major estates under Carvalho Dias have consistently won awards year after year, with more than 12 awards in 7 years. In 2004, they even swept the top positions including champion, 9th place, 11th place, and more. Many large and small estates in Brazil have long hoped to qualify for awards, but the estates under this family have taken away multiple awards year after year. Even the Fazenda Rainha purchased by our company has an impressive record: 2nd place in 2000, 3rd place in 2001, and 29th place in 2005. To date, Queen Estate has won awards three times.
The Carvalho Dias family are also founding members of the Brazilian Specialty Coffee Association. Their commitment to coffee quality and environmental protection is evident to all. Within their family farms, they utilize natural waterfalls to develop pollution-free hydroelectric power, self-sufficiently meeting their electricity needs (another award-winning estate under the family is named after this waterfall - Waterfall Estate). They have built churches, classrooms, nurseries, medical stations, maintained original forests with native flora and fauna, and continued reforestation efforts. Taking Queen Estate as an example, environmental protection is quite thorough. Due to its higher altitude and non-plain terrain, machines cannot be used for harvesting - all fruits are picked completely by hand. They also cultivate low-yield, high-quality Bourbon varieties, making it a representative estate of Brazil's premium coffee essence!

FrontStreet Coffee's Queen Estate Yellow Bourbon - Green Bean Analysis
This bean uses the Brazilian-invented Cerezadescascado method (de-pulped method), a natural processing method similar to honey processing that makes the coffee flavor more rounded, with effects between washed processing and full natural processing. During processing, a small amount of water is first used to remove the pulp and skin, then the coffee is directly placed on drying racks for sun-drying, with constant turning to ensure all coffee beans receive sunlight exposure. After several days of sun-drying, mechanical drying is performed to achieve the appropriate moisture content.
The processed coffee beans are relatively stable and can be stored for a long time. They have lower moisture content and relatively large bean sizes, with 98% of beans reaching 16 mesh or above, and half reaching 18 mesh. Brazil's coffee grading system has its own independent classification system that's more complex than other countries', evaluating defect ratios, size, flavor, and cup quality. For example, "Brasil Santos NY 2 SC17/18 SS FC" where NY2 is the defect ratio grading: the larger the number, the higher the defect ratio. The sequence is 2, 2/3, 3, 3/4..., with NY indicating it's based on New York grading standards.
This is truly a coffee bean with excellent value for money.
