Flavors can range widely depending on the origin of the coffee beans. Ethiopian beans are often known for their bright acidity and floral notes, while Sumatran beans tend to be earthy and full-bodied. The roasting process also significantly impacts flavor, with lighter roasts highlighting origin characteristics and darker roasts emphasizing bolder, more roasted notes.
