dried apricot

dried apricot

Dried apricot is a delicate stone fruit note commonly found in naturally processed and honey-processed coffees, particularly from East African origins like Ethiopia and Kenya. This flavor presents as a sweet, slightly tangy stone fruit character with subtle caramel and jammy undertones, often accompanied by a soft, velvety mouthfeel. The flavor is frequently enhanced by fermentation during processing and tends to emerge more prominently in lighter to medium roasts where the fruit-forward characteristics are preserved.
