pomelo
Pomelo is a bright, citrus-forward flavor note found in specialty coffees, particularly those from Southeast Asian origins like Thailand and Vietnam, or high-altitude East African coffees with natural/washed processing. It presents as a sweet, slightly bitter grapefruit-like character with floral undertones, offering a crisp acidity and juicy mouthfeel that distinguishes it from standard citrus notes. This flavor is often enhanced by lighter roasts and fermentation-based processing methods that preserve the fruit's delicate, complex aromatics.
