This flavor is commonly found in naturally processed coffees from East African origins, particularly Ethiopian and Kenyan beans, as well as some Central American washed coffees with high-altitude cultivation. The melon notes are often accompanied by floral undertones and bright acidity, creating a crisp, summery profile that's particularly pronounced in lighter roasts.
