maple
=====

Maple is a common flavor note found in specialty coffee, often associated with darker roasts and coffee from Central and South America. It presents as a sweet, syrupy, and slightly nutty flavor that can evoke the taste of maple syrup. This flavor is commonly found in coffee from Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, where the processing and roasting methods can bring out these rich, caramelized notes.
