The best Ukrainian coffee brands

Specialty coffee, or as it is also called, specialty coffee, is the highest quality Arabica, which accounts for only 10% of the world's total production. This coffee is usually served without sugar because it has a unique flavor that can vary depending on the temperature of the drink.

For example, you can taste bright fruity notes, floral aroma, or even honey sweetness. Sometimes you can recognize the taste of ripe pear, juicy apple, exotic fruit, or even milk chocolate in a cup of coffee. Depending on the method of coffee processing, the drink may also contain tea notes and even alcoholic hints.
