Front Street-Arabica Coffee beans

Coffee has a long history, and it was not until the third wave of coffee that people had the enthusiasm to explore every step in the production process of a cup of coffee: how farmers grow it, how workers harvest it, how to deal with coffee, and how bean bakers find the most suitable roasting method for this coffee bean.

What is Arabica?

Arabica coffee accounts for about 80% of the world's coffee production. It is native to Ethiopia, usually grows at an altitude of 1000-2300 meters above sea level, and is distributed in the "coffee belt" between the tropics and subtropics. The region provides nutrient-rich (usually volcanic) soil, regular rainfall and plenty of sunshine, which are necessary for coffee to grow well.

Arabica needs special care because its coffee trees are vulnerable to diseases and insect pests, such as coffee leaf rust or fungal infections, which cause orange patches on the leaves and affect photosynthesis, causing the leaves to fall and kill the trees, which, if not handled properly, could destroy the entire plantation. Arabica coffee is also vulnerable to pests such as coffee berry beetle (Berry Borer), which lay eggs in coffee cherries and eat flesh after hatching, greatly reducing the quality of coffee.

Despite these obstacles, Arabica coffee tastes smooth and becomes the first choice for consumers compared to Robusta. A cup of Arabica coffee is full of aroma and delicacy, sometimes described as floral, fruity, citrus, clay, cream, chocolate, caramel, honey or sugar. The flavor can also range from sweet to full-bodied, depending on the origin and handling of the coffee.

When we order coffee in a coffee shop, we will see "American coffee" marked on menu. If you order this coffee, you will get a cup of espresso made by an Italian coffee machine with hot water and black coffee without sugar and milk.
