This flavor presents as a crisp, acidic berry character with subtle fruity sweetness and a clean, wine-like quality that contributes to the coffee's overall complexity. Red currant notes are often enhanced by anaerobic fermentation or extended fermentation processes, and they pair well with the floral and jasmine notes typical of high-altitude African origins.
