This flavor is typically found in naturally processed coffees from East Africa (particularly Ethiopia and Kenya) or in coffees with fruit-forward fermentation profiles, where wild yeasts create complex fruity esters reminiscent of the colorful candy. The combination of multiple distinct fruit notes—berry, citrus, and stone fruit—layered together creates that distinctive Skittles-like complexity, often with a slightly tart acidity and syrupy body that amplifies the candy-like sweetness.
