— Origin Coffee
Context
Origin Coffee sources this lot from Burundi, where it expresses the brightness characteristic of the region's coffees. The roaster identifies citrus and dark fruit as primary flavor markers, alongside an Earl Grey-like bitterness—a tea-forward profile that suggests complex tannin structure alongside the fruit notes. This combination of bright acidity and deeper, more austere qualities creates a coffee with notable dimension, moving between lighter citrus character and darker, more savory undertones as it cools.
For those exploring where these flavors sit on the sensory spectrum, the flavor wheel offers a useful reference for identifying comparable notes across different coffees.
