Flavor profile: Fruity

Fruity coffee is characterised by fresh, vibrant flavours reminiscent of berries, citrus fruits, or ripe stone fruits.

This flavour profile is common in lightly roasted Arabica beans, especially from regions like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Colombia. The fruity notes can range from apple and peach to blueberry or grapefruit, depending on the bean’s origin and processing method.

How to recognise fruity notes in coffee
