milky
=====

A milky flavor in specialty coffee presents as a soft, creamy, full-bodied sweetness reminiscent of fresh whole milk or steamed cream, with a smooth, round mouthfeel that coats the palate gently. 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.
