lychee
Lychee is a delicate, floral flavor often found in coffee from southeast Asia, particularly from regions like Thailand and Vietnam. It presents as a bright, sweet, and subtly tropical note, reminiscent of the juicy lychee fruit. This flavor is typically associated with lighter roast profiles and can be highlighted through natural or honey processing methods.
