Herbal
Flavors evoking fresh or dried herbs and botanicals.
Herbal notes bring savory, plant-like qualities such as sage, thyme, rosemary, or dried grass to coffee. Common in Sumatran, Rwandan, and some Central American coffees. These flavors arise from specific organic compounds in the green bean and are most prominent in lighter roasts that preserve delicate volatile aromatics lost at higher temperatures.
