Fruity & Sweet Coffees

Most beans in Fruity & Sweet are natural-process or honey-process coffees from Ethiopia, Colombia, Costa Rica, and El Salvador, where the cherry's sugars stay with the bean during drying and translate into juicy, sweet cups. Expect berry on the front, a stone-fruit middle, and a finish that reads like jam or fruit preserves rather than candy.

These coffees brew best as filter — V60, Kalita, or any cone-shape pour-over lets the fruit acidity show without going thin. Espresso works too, especially with a slightly longer shot. They reward freshness: a Fruity & Sweet bag that has been open three weeks loses the brighter berry notes and reads more like dried fruit, so plan to drink them inside two to three weeks of the roast date.

If you have ever had a coffee that made you say "this tastes like fruit, not coffee," this is the collection.
