Tastes like

Fresh plum

Typical intensity 4.5/10

Dark, faintly winey stone fruit with real weight behind it.

Indonesia owns this note more than anywhere: wet-hulled Sumatran lots pair a deep, faintly winey plum fruit with the heavy body their distinctive processing creates. In the cup it reads dark and dense rather than juicy — stone fruit with gravity. If clean, bright coffees have started to feel samey, plum is fruit that broods instead.
