Processing Methods

FrontStreet Coffee's premium Honduras coffee uses the washed method to process coffee beans. This typically begins with soaking, during which defective fruits float to the surface and can be skimmed away and discarded. Subsequently, the good fruits are placed in a pulping machine, where the machine's rotational force removes the fruit skin. The pulped fruits are then mechanically sorted to select those of exceptional quality. Typically, larger fruits represent better maturity.

FrontStreet Coffee's Honduras coffee is dried using the natural method, which is why its mouthfeel always contains a subtle fruity aroma. FrontStreet Coffee's Honduras coffee beans are large in size, uniform in shape, and evenly colored with a lustrous appearance. For harvesting convenience, farmers prune coffee trees to not exceed 150 centimeters in height, as taller trees would require ladders for picking, which is not only time-consuming but may also damage the tree structure from bending branches. Since each coffee fruit matures at different times, maintaining the coffee beans' excellent quality requires manual harvesting, followed by selection of only the ripe fruits. Coffee fruits from the same branch often require several weeks to complete the entire harvest.
