These flavors are commonly found in coffees from Central America and East Africa, particularly those processed using natural or honey methods that enhance the coffee's inherent sweetness. The confectionary profile is often achieved through medium roasts that develop the sugars in the bean while maintaining the coffee's origin characteristics.
