Unpacking Coffee
Jammy flavors in specialty coffee present as sweet, fruit-forward notes reminiscent of preserves, compotes, or concentrated fruit juices, with a thick, syrupy mouthfeel. This characteristic is commonly found in natural and honey-processed coffees, particularly from East African origins like Ethiopia and Kenya, where fermentation and extended drying enhance fruit complexity. The jammy profile develops through careful processing methods that allow fruit sugars to concentrate and caramelize, creating a distinctive sweetness that bridges the gap between fresh fruit and candied flavors.

Quite a treat to have this to enjoy on Valentine’s Day… although I didn’t realize when I was grinding it how fresh it was!
