Maine Maple Sundae

Our flavored coffees start with great coffee! South American beans, selected for their prevailing sweetness, are skillfully roasted to optimize this quality and then enhanced with a hint of flavor. This coffee is a nod to Maine’s maple syrup makers and their sugary sweetwater.

Flavor Notes:  Maple Syrup + Cream + Sweet

Roast Level:  Light-Medium

The Maine Maple Sundae, offered by Coffee By Design, represents a distinct approach to South American coffee profiles. While coffees from this region are often celebrated for their balanced acidity and chocolatey foundations, this specific selection leans into a dessert-forward experience. By highlighting notes of maple syrup and cream, the roaster emphasizes a profile defined by sweetness and a smooth, indulgent mouthfeel.

When evaluating such specific flavor descriptors, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better understand how these sugary, dairy-adjacent notes fit within the broader spectrum of coffee sensory analysis. Generally, coffees that lean into these sweet, viscous characteristics often benefit from roast profiles that preserve the inherent sugars of the bean without masking them with excessive bitterness. This lot serves as a prime example of how roasters can curate a sensory experience that mirrors the comfort of a classic sundae.
