 cocoa butter 

cocoa butter
============

Cocoa butter presents as a smooth, creamy, and luxurious flavor note in specialty coffee, often accompanied by subtle chocolate undertones and a velvety mouthfeel. This flavor is commonly found in naturally processed coffees and those from regions like Ethiopia, Brazil, and Colombia, where fermentation and processing methods enhance cocoa-forward characteristics. The cocoa butter note typically emerges in medium to dark roasts and is prized for its richness and the buttery, almost dessert-like quality it imparts to the cup.
