Why Is Panamanian Geisha Coffee Not Bitter?

Not all black coffee tastes bitter. Several single-origin beans brewed as pour-over carry balanced sweetness and acidity with clear fruit notes, and Panamanian Geisha coffee is a leading example. Its white floral aroma, fresh citrus and tropical fruit flavors explain why it draws attention, and why blends using it keep the price within reach for daily brewing.

The Panamanian Geisha coffee in a blend such as Front Street Strawberry Candy appears alongside Costa Rican honey-processed beans, giving rose, strawberry, fruit candy and grape aromas with an almond finish. Other options include medium-light roasted Caturra with apricot and passion fruit notes, Yunnan Typica with plum and caramel, and Butterfly, which is 70 percent Panamanian Geisha with Caturra and Catuai.

Many people think that coffee must be bitter, and that a good black coffee needs milk and sugar added, but coffee actually has many different flavors that make it not only not bitter, but also carry various aromas and mouthfeels. Today, Front Street has brought several coffee beans with balanced acidity and sweetness and outstanding flavors for everyone to choose from.
