This note is frequently found in medium to dark roasted coffees, particularly those from Central and South American origins like Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala, as well as in naturally processed African coffees. The flavor typically emerges from the Maillard reaction during roasting and is often accompanied by complementary notes of nuts, caramel, or subtle fruit undertones.
