Coffees that taste of brown sugar

Of the 182 coffees in this catalogue, 12 carry brown sugar as a tasting note — most often Mexico, Guatemala and Ethiopia lots at a light-medium roast, priced $18.00 – $31.50.

Molasses-inflected sweetness, less buttery than caramel and slightly earthy. Common in washed Central American and Ugandan coffee, and a reliable sign of a balanced roast.

Most of them are washed-processed, though the note also appears in natural lots. It most often shares a bag with cocoa, orange and citrus.
