Unpacking Coffee
Confectionary flavors in specialty coffee present as sweet, candy-like notes with characteristics such as caramel, chocolate, toffee, and brown sugar. 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.

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!
