Dried Fruit

Flavors evoking raisins, dates, figs, or prunes.

Dried fruit notes bring concentrated sweetness and a jammy, preserved-fruit quality to coffee. Common in natural-process Ethiopian coffees, Yemeni lots, and some Indonesian beans. The intense sugars present during natural drying ferment slightly, creating complex esters that mimic the rich sweetness of sun-dried dates, figs, and dark raisins.
