This flavor is commonly found in light to medium roasts of East African coffees, particularly Ethiopian naturals and washed lots, where floral notes are enhanced by their processing methods and altitude. The peony note often accompanies stone fruit or jasmine undertones, creating a complex, botanical profile that appeals to those seeking refined, aromatic coffees.
