This flavor is commonly found in light to medium roasts of East African coffees, particularly from Ethiopia and Kenya, where natural and honey process fermentation methods can develop these bright, fruity-acidic characteristics. The rhubarb note combines the coffee's inherent acidity with a distinctive tangy sweetness that evokes the plant's characteristic flavor profile.
