What Is Frontstreet Coffee's Guide to Single-Origin Beans?
Six single-origin coffees divide into two groups: those defined by acidity and those defined by body. On the acidity side are Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Red Cherry with lemon, licorice and berry notes, Kenya Little Tomato with cherry tomato and juicy acidity, and Panama Butterfly with floral, black tea and citrus notes over a smooth, low-bitterness cup.
The body-led group covers Jamaica Blue Mountain from the Clifton Mount Estate, with nut, chocolate and caramel notes and a strong mouthfeel, Indonesia Golden Mandheling from Gayo Mountain, wet-hulled and full-bodied with nut and caramel aromas, and Brazil Queen Estate from Mogiana. Altitude, variety and processing method, from natural to K72 washed, shape those differences.
