This flavor is most commonly found in naturally processed (dry-processed) coffees from Ethiopia (particularly Yirgacheffe and Sidama), as well as from Kenya and some Central American origins, where extended fruit contact during processing allows sugars to ferment and concentrate into jammy, stone-fruit complexity. It is a hallmark of high-quality natural and anaerobic process coffees, often accompanied by notes of dark berry, hibiscus, or wine-like fermentation.
