## Definition

coffee beans harvested and sold during their natural growing time, available only for a limited period because they are fresh and produced in small amounts

For teachers: an agricultural coffee product originating from specific harvest cycles, typically encompassing limited-lot micro-crops that are not available for year-round distribution due to their seasonal nature.

## Examples

- I tried a new seasonal coffee today that tasted like fresh strawberries.
- The barista recommended the seasonal coffee from Ethiopia, noting it would only be on the menu for another month.
- To maintain optimal flavor profiles, specialty roasters rotate their inventory to feature seasonal coffee, ensuring that consumers receive beans at their peak freshness post-harvest.
