It is commonly found as a tasting note in light-roasted, washed-process coffees from Southeast Asian origins such as the Philippines, where the fruit itself is native, as well as in some natural-process East African coffees that share its tangerine-like, juicy acidity. On the palate, it delivers a sharp, mouth-brightening acidity on the front with a lingering sweet-tart finish reminiscent of kumquat and mandarin.")
