Seasonal Select: Sundew

Light Roast | Strawberry and Toffee

The Seasonal Select: Sundew, offered by Groundwork Coffee, presents a distinct profile defined by the roaster’s tasting notes of strawberry and toffee. When evaluating such specific flavor descriptors, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better understand how these sensory experiences—ranging from bright, berry-like acidity to rich, caramelized sweetness—interact within the cup.

While every coffee is unique, coffees that highlight fruit-forward notes often benefit from brewing methods that emphasize clarity, whereas those with deeper, sugary undertones can be balanced by techniques that highlight body and mouthfeel. By exploring the interplay between these strawberry and toffee characteristics, drinkers can refine their palate and better appreciate the nuances inherent in this particular selection. Whether enjoyed as a pour-over or a concentrated espresso, the Sundew serves as an accessible entry point for those looking to explore the diverse spectrum of flavors found in modern specialty coffee.
