FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe and Sidamo: Flavor Profiles, Taste Descriptions, Differences, Characteristics, and Estate Origin Introduction

The unique aromatic FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe comes from a small town called Yirga in the northwestern part of Sidamo province. Yirgacheffe green coffee beans are among the most distinctive coffees in the world, rare and expensive, produced in the highland areas of Ethiopia's Sidamo province at an altitude of 2,000 meters. It is an outstanding representative of African washed coffee and has always enjoyed a prestigious reputation among global coffee connoisseurs. This rare, high-quality washed Arabica coffee is suitable for various degrees of roasting and perfectly presents fresh, bright floral and fruit aromas. With beautiful, complete bean shapes that are difficult to compare with general Mocha coffee, it features unique citrus and lemon fruit fragrances combined with jasmine aromas, possessing a wine-like acidity with a clean taste free from impurities—much like drinking freshly brewed citrus fruit tea with a lasting aftertaste.

Flavor Characteristics and Reputation

Full of floral and citrus aromas with impressive expression, after medium roasting it reveals gentle acidity, while deep roasting brings out rich aromas. The rich and uniform mouthfeel is the most fascinating characteristic of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, hailed as Ethiopia's finest coffee beans and a representative of East African specialty coffee, while FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe is one of the most uniquely flavored coffees in the world today.

Roasting Recommendations

FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe performs excellently in both light and medium-dark roasts: If you prefer the unique orange fruit aroma and a light, gentle taste, you can choose light-roasted FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe, taken out at the end of the first crack; if you focus on richness, thickness, viscosity, and aftertaste, you can choose Vienna-roasted Yirgacheffe with light surface oil, taken out during the middle to late stages of the second crack. Because FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe is washed, it has a relatively high moisture content, so attention must be paid to having sufficient dehydration time; it also cannot be roasted for too long to avoid the dissipation of more aromatic coffee substances under prolonged high temperatures. It should be done just right, with small fire and small amounts of coffee roasted for about 15-20 minutes being more suitable.
