In specialty coffee, this note is commonly found in naturally processed or honey-processed coffees from origins like Brazil, Ethiopia, and Colombia, where the extended contact between the coffee cherry and the bean during drying imparts a pronounced, syrupy sweetness. It often appears alongside notes of caramel, toffee, or dried fruit, and is a hallmark of coffees with a full body and low acidity.

This flavor is commonly found in coffees from East African origins, such as Ethiopia and Kenya, where the coffee cherries are dried with the skin still intact, imparting the tea-like qualities. The flavor can also be brought out through extended roasting profiles.")
