Compared with tropical fruits, the description of berries is obviously much easier to understand, but the word berry does not refer to just one kind of fruit, but to a category that includes many small and juicy fruits. But unlike tropical fruits, berries have a separate category in the new coffee flavor wheel released by SCA in 2016.
The berry category of the flavor wheel includes strawberry, blueberry, Raspberry, and Blackberry. Not only that, Mulberry and Cranberry actually belong to the category of berries, and the word "berry" comes from the word "Berry."
Berry is a popular classification established for those coffees that have something in common. The common features of these fruits are mainly: fleshy fruit, thin shell, and seeds evenly distributed in the berry, unlike fruits with clear dividing lines in nuts or pits.
Therefore, not only fruits with "Berry" can be classified into the berry category, such as blackcurrant/blackcurrant, which is also a member of the berry category. And because there are so many types, they are divided by color and brightness: red berries, black berries, or dark berries.
For coffee beans with obvious berry flavor, Front Street recommends starting with coffee from Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia and other countries:
1. Front Street Kenyan Cherry Tomato Coffee Beans: cherry tomatoes, ebony plums, dark berries, blackberries, and pear
