Tastes like

Dried apricots

Typical intensity 6/10

Concentrated, slightly chewy stone-fruit sweetness — closer to dried fruit than fresh.

The dried-apricot character this note takes after is denser than fresh fruit: chewy, sugar-forward, with acidity in a supporting role. Ethiopian coffees — washed and natural alike — are its most reliable source, high-altitude growing and patient drying preserving those delicate stone-fruit sugars. Between the brightness of citrus and the weight of raisin, apricot occupies a sweet, golden middle.
