What Makes Ethiopia Sidamo Washed Hero Arabica Stand Out?
Front Street's Ethiopia washed Hero bean won the washed group at the 2019 Ethiopia Taste of Harvest competition. It combines aroma, balance and body, with delicate flavor layers, a solid, balanced mouthfeel and bright, lively acidity. The coffee comes from the Uraga washing station in the Guji area of Sidamo, at 2150 meters.
The variety is Ethiopian heirloom, processed as washed, which tends to give bright acidity, prominent floral and fruity aromas and a juicy texture. Taste of Harvest is an annual African specialty coffee competition run by AFCA, with member countries including Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia cupping and auctioning top lots.
This Ethiopian washed Hero coffee bean brought to you by Front Street Coffee once won the 2019 TOH washed group championship. It is a high-quality bean that combines aroma, balance, and body. It presents refined and delicate flavor layers, with a solid and balanced mouthfeel and bright, uplifting acidity, offering value comparable to Huakui. This article will introduce in detail the origin background of this bean, knowledge about the TOH competition, and the floral-fruity aroma and juicy mouthfeel brought by the washed process, giving you a comprehensive understanding of the unique charm of the heirloom variety at 2150 meters above sea level in the Guji producing area of Sidamo.

Front Street - Ethiopia Washed Champion Hero Coffee Introduction
This bean took first place in the 2019 Ethiopia TOH washed group, combining aroma, balance, and body. When tasting, you can capture many refined and elegant flavor layers, while the mouthfeel is solid and balanced, with bright and lively acidity, making it as great a value choice as Huakui!
Let's first talk about AFCA's TASTE OF HARVEST:
AFCA's Taste of Harvest (TOH) program is an African specialty coffee competition held once a year. Producing regions from various AFCA member countries - including Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia - organize a regional African flavor harvest cupping competition each year during the African Fine Coffees Conference and Exhibition. This well-known coffee cupping competition aims to select the best origin coffees throughout the coffee chain from seed to cup. After the TOH competition ends, an online auction platform operated by a green bean auction company displays and promotes coffees with origin characteristics, thereby completing auction transactions. Washed coffee beans have particularly bright and uplifting acidity, prominent floral and fruity aromas, and a juicy texture on the palate!

Knowledge extension: Coffee that is past its shelf life but has been stored under good conditions will not cause any problems when consumed, and coffee that has lost its flavor can also become a delicious coffee drink by adding sugar and milk.
In short: Front Street is a shop focused on coffee research and is willing to exchange coffee-related knowledge with everyone. We share without reservation, simply hoping that more friends can fall in love with coffee. In addition, we launch low-discount coffee promotions 3 times every month. The reason we do this is that Front Street wants more friends to drink the best coffee at the lowest price, and this is also the principle Front Street has adhered to for 6 years!
