 sweet apple

sweet apple
===========

Sweet apple in specialty coffee presents as a crisp, bright, and juicy note with a gentle natural sweetness, often accompanied by hints of malic acid that give a clean, refreshing finish. It is most commonly found in washed or natural Ethiopian and Kenyan coffees, as well as light-roasted Central American origins like Guatemala or Honduras, where high-altitude growing conditions and careful processing preserve delicate fruit-forward aromatics. This flavor is a hallmark of high-quality Arabica beans and is frequently noted in coffees with a balanced acidity and a smooth, round body.
