black currant
Black currant appears as a dark berry note in specialty coffee, typically found in high-altitude African coffees, particularly from Kenya and Ethiopia, and in some naturally processed South American beans. This flavor presents as a tart, slightly jammy dark fruit character with subtle floral undertones and a distinctive earthy depth. The black currant note is often accompanied by wine-like acidity and is commonly enhanced through natural fermentation processing methods.
