 [ black tea ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/65 "Black tea flavor in specialty coffee is often described as having a rich, earthy, and slightly smoky profile. This flavor is commonly found in coffees from East African origins, such as Ethiopia and Kenya, where the coffee cherries are dried with the skin still intact, imparting the tea-like qualities. The flavor can also be brought out through extended roasting profiles.") [ grapefruit ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/20 "The grapefruit flavor in coffee can evoke a bright, zesty, and slightly acidic taste profile, similar to the tangy and refreshing characteristics of the fruit itself.") [ clove ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/47 "Clove has a warm, spicy aroma and flavor that can add depth and complexity to specialty coffee. The rich, earthy tones of clove complement the natural sweetness and acidity found in high-quality coffee beans.")
