Unpacking Coffee
Sweetness in specialty coffee manifests as natural sugars that create a smooth, pleasant finish without bitterness, often accompanied by notes of caramel, chocolate, or fruit. This flavor is commonly found in coffees from Central and South America, as well as East African origins, particularly those processed using natural or honey methods that preserve fruit sugars. High-quality espresso blends and light to medium roasts tend to highlight these sweet characteristics, making them desirable for specialty applications.

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!
