 quince

quince
======

Quince is a unique and often overlooked coffee flavor. It presents with a bright, tart acidity and a distinct floral, almost apricot-like sweetness. Quince flavors are commonly found in coffees from Central American origins, particularly those that undergo extended fermentation or experimental processing methods.
