The Vancouver Indy Coffee Scene

Many coffees have fruity notes of flavour, considering that coffee beans are essentially seeds of a fruit–the coffee cherry. A roast’s acidity is much like a wine’s brightness and is often related to the fruity-ness of the bean.

Author’s note:
Instead of just trying to say it is fruity, try to describe the fruit you are tasting. I always like to try to describe what I am tasting when I attend a public cupping although I admit it can be challenging.
