citrus
======

Citrus flavors in specialty coffee are often described as bright, tangy, and refreshing, with notes of lemon, orange, or grapefruit. These flavors are commonly found in coffees from East African origins, such as Ethiopia and Kenya, as well as some Central American countries, and are often associated with lighter roast profiles and washed processing methods.
