 candied pineapple

candied pineapple
=================

Candied pineapple in specialty coffee presents as a bright, intensely sweet tropical note layered with a sticky, syrupy quality that distinguishes it from fresh pineapple acidity. It is most commonly found in naturally processed or anaerobic fermentation coffees from origins like Ethiopia, Colombia, and Central America, where extended fruit contact and fermentation amplify sugars into jammy, confection-like expressions. The flavor often appears alongside other tropical or stone fruit notes and is a hallmark of high-sweetness, low-bitterness roast profiles favored in third-wave specialty roasting.
