It is commonly found in naturally processed coffees from Ethiopia or Brazil, as well as in washed coffees with lower acidity and high sweetness, particularly from Sumatra or Colombia. This flavor note is often associated with medium roast profiles that preserve the bean's inherent sugars while developing lactone compounds, and it pairs naturally with tasting notes of vanilla, caramel, and oat.
