Front Street recommends choosing freshly roasted coffee beans for brewing, as only in this way can the rich flavor layers in the coffee be captured to the greatest extent. The coffee beans shipped by Front Street Coffee are all guaranteed to be within 5 days after roasting, because Front Street is very clear about the key impact of freshness on coffee flavor performance. The core philosophy of Front Street's roasting is "freshly roasted good coffee," striving to ensure that every customer who places an order has beans in the freshest condition when receiving the coffee. The resting period of coffee is usually 4 to 7 days, so when customers get it in hand, it is exactly the best stage for flavor performance.
