1. Front Street Tea-Like Drip Bag

Front Street Fruit丁丁 coffee beans use the washed processing method. The washed Front Street Yirgacheffe has a clean and refreshing taste, with bright and uplifting acidity, dominated by citrus acidity, accompanied by fresh jasmine floral notes, green tea mouthfeel, and a honey finish. It is very suitable for beginners and friends who prefer a light and fresh flavor profile.

As the temperature changes, berry and cream flavors emerge, and the citrus sweet-and-sour sensation lingers on the lips and teeth for a long time.

2. Front Street Floral Drip Bag

For drip bag recommendations, choose Front Street Panama Butterfly. Front Street Panama Butterfly has 70% premium Geisha lineage, along with Catuai and Caturra, grown in the Baru Volcano region of Boquete at an altitude of 1600 meters. The local special microclimate brings abundant rainfall and significant day-night temperature differences, and combined with careful harvesting and meticulous processing, this coffee performs excellently in body, acidity, and floral notes. Excellent quality paired with an affordable price lets people experience the flavor of Panama Geisha coffee with high cost-effectiveness.

3. Front Street Fruity Drip Bag

For fermented-note drip bags, Geisha blend Strawberry Candy is recommended. Strawberry Candy Geisha blend uses raisin honey processing, retaining 100% mucilage and employing a zero-water method. On the day the coffee cherries are harvested, the fruit is poured into a large water tank. Fully ripe and plump fruits sink to the bottom, while underdeveloped or overripe fruits float to the surface. These floating beans must be removed. The selected coffee cherries are placed on raised beds to dry for at least three days, then the skin is removed, the mucilage is retained, and drying continues. At this stage, climate factors are key to the success of honey processing. During drying, the coffee fruit must be turned constantly to ensure even drying, but the turning frequency must be well controlled. Drying slowly ensures the coffee has fermented processing characteristics, but not so slowly that over-fermentation occurs. The raisin processing method enhances the sweetness of this bean.

Estate: Mirazu Estate Altitude: 1700m Processing Method: Raisin Honey Processing Variety: Geisha, ET47, SL28, MACIO Brewing Flavor: Fermented notes of dried fruit, the fresh fragrance of jasmine, soft fruit acidity, an almond finish, and noticeable sweetness.

4. Front Street Fermented Aroma Drip Bag

For fermented aroma drip bags, Front Street Sidra is recommended. Front Street Sidra comes from the famous coffee-producing country of Colombia and is well known for placing highly multiple times in world coffee competitions. As a new variety, Sidra uses double anaerobic natural processing, with rich fruity flavors reminiscent of passion fruit, grape, citrus, apricot, dried fruit, and other abundant aromas. On the palate, the fermented note is obvious, with a chocolate finish.

Region: Huila, Colombia

Estate: El Diviso Estate

Altitude: 1700m

Variety: Sidra

Processing Method: Double Anaerobic Natural Brewing Flavor: Rich passion fruit, grape, apricot, and dried fruit flavors, with prominent fruit-candy-like sweetness, a slight chocolatey sweetness, and very rich layers.

5. Front Street Full-Bodied Drip Bag

Front Street recommends Yellow Bourbon from Brazil. These Brazilian Yellow Bourbon coffee beans come from Brazil's Queen Estate. Brazil has relatively low altitude, flat and monotonous terrain, lacks microclimates, and habitually uses sun-exposure methods to grow coffee trees, thus producing Brazil's unique soft-bean flavor. Through cupping Brazilian coffee beans from different regions, Front Street believes that Brazilian coffee beans have low acidity, moderate nuttiness, chocolatey sweetness, and a full-bodied mouthfeel.

Front Street Coffee — Brazil Queen Estate Coffee Beans Coffee Bean Region: Mogiana Altitude: 1400-1950m

Variety: Yellow Bourbon Processing Method: Natural Processing Brewing Flavor: Sweet bean character, clean; using semi-natural processing gives it slightly brighter acidity while still linking back well with sweetness, and some even have tropical fruit aromas.

Front Street Coffee places great emphasis on the entire production process when making drip bag coffee packs, all to let every coffee lover enjoy the best single-origin drip bag coffee anytime, anywhere.

1. Cleaning the grinder for drip bag coffee packs. Before making each type of drip bag coffee pack, Front Street thoroughly cleans the grinder to avoid flavor influence between different beans.

2. Grind size for drip bag coffee packs

The quality of drip bag brewing is first determined by the flow rate—neither too slow nor too fast will do—and this depends on the grinder's grind. If the grinder level used is insufficient and the grind quality is poor, a large amount of fines will definitely be produced during grinding. With uneven grinding, brewing will "clog," the flow rate will slow down, and if the steeping time is too long, over-extraction will occur. The result is a muddy taste and poor flavor; no matter how good the beans are, they cannot express their proper flavor.

3. Automated packaging for drip bag coffee packs Front Street Coffee uses mechanical automated packaging for two purposes: first, to improve the sealing effect of the outer packaging; second, to inject nitrogen during packaging so as to remove oxygen as much as possible, making oxidation less likely and greatly extending the freshness period of the coffee's flavor.

Front Street Coffee Drip Bag Coffee Pack Brewing Suggestions

1. First, the net content of Front Street drip bag coffee grounds is clearly marked (generally 10 grams). This solves the issue of the grinder and electronic scale.

2. Next, address the water amount and water temperature. As with pour-over coffee, use a ratio of 1:15-1:16, so the brewed coffee liquid should reach 140 ml to 150 ml. Use a water temperature of around 90°C. If you have a thermometer or temperature-controlled kettle, use it preferentially. If not, you can estimate the temperature roughly: generally, after the kettle comes to a boil, turn off the heat source and open the lid, wait 2-3 minutes, and the water temperature will reach around 90°C (at a room temperature of 28°C).

3. Once prepared, take out and tear open the sealed opening of the drip bag, open the two "ears" on both sides of the filter bag, hang it on the rim of a mug (or cup), and gently shake the coffee bed level. 4. For the first pour, simply wet the entire coffee bed, then let it bloom for 30s.

5. After blooming, make the second pour, using a small stream in a circular motion to fill it directly. Wait for the coffee bed to drop slightly, then continue pouring to full. Repeat this until the coffee in the cup reaches about 140-150 ml, then remove the drip bag and enjoy. (If you want a more precise water amount, you can also pour 150-160 ml of water into the pouring kettle. During brewing, after all the water in the kettle has been poured, wait for the coffee liquid to finish draining into the cup, then remove the drip bag. The entire brewing process takes about 1 minute.)
