Coffee Blossom coffee in London
2 speciality roasts from 2 London roasters feature coffee blossom notes.
Coffee blossom in the cup presents as a delicate, lightly sweet floral note with a faintly honeyed, jasmine-like quality, sometimes accompanied by a subtle citrus undertone. It is generally a gentle note rather than a pronounced one, sitting quietly beneath the cup's primary flavours and contributing to an impression of fragrance and softness. This character typically arises from high-altitude arabica varieties that retain certain volatile aromatic compounds, and it is most easily preserved through lighter roast levels and careful, clean processing methods such as washed or natural processing.
Delicate and faintly sweet, coffee blossom brings a floral, jasmine-like quality to the cup — evoking the white flowers that bloom briefly on the coffee plant itself. It appears most often in Colombian and Indonesian coffees, where anaerobic and washed processing methods help preserve and lift those gentler aromatic notes. In London, this rare characteristic can currently be found across two roasts, with Skylark and Scenery among the roasters coaxing it into the glass.

How coffee blossom notes develop
Coffee blossom notes are often associated with high-grown Ethiopian coffees, particularly those from regions such as Yirgacheffe and Sidama, where the native heirloom varieties and the local terroir tend to produce pronounced floral aromatics. Coffees from certain areas of Colombia, Kenya, and Yemen can also exhibit this quality, typically when grown at elevation and processed with care. Washed processing tends to present the note with greater clarity, though some naturally processed coffees from Ethiopia carry a version of it wrapped within deeper fruit-forward characteristics.
What to look for
On a bag or cafe menu, look for tasting notes that reference jasmine, orange blossom, white flowers, or light florals alongside descriptors such as delicate, clean, or tea-like. Single-origin Ethiopian or high-altitude Colombian coffees described as light roast are generally the most reliable starting point. Brew methods that allow the coffee's aromatics to come forward, such as pour-over or Chemex, tend to express this note more clearly than espresso, which can compress the finer floral qualities under heavier body and extraction pressure.
