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.")
