black cherry
Black cherry is a dark, tart fruit note commonly found in specialty coffees with natural or honey processing methods, particularly in East African origins like Ethiopia and Kenya. This flavor presents as a deep, slightly acidic berry character with subtle stone fruit undertones, often accompanied by winey or jammy qualities. Black cherry notes are especially prominent in coffees with higher fermentation activity and are frequently paired with chocolate or cocoa undertones in the cup.

OK, I know this was only roasted two days ago, and I probably should have waited… but it’s pretty good already!
