Strawberry and mango were already common words in one retailer's 2008

In 230 archived Sweet Maria’s coffee reviews for crops from 2008 to 2011, 17 reviews mention strawberry and 14 mention mango. None mention bubblegum or yogurt.

Sweet Maria’s is a US green-coffee seller. I split the Internet Archive’s copies of its “archived reviews” pages into single reviews and counted how many mention each flavor descriptor. The counts are on coffee-flavored, where you can paste your own tasting notes and compare. The set has 120 reviews from 2008, 80 from 2009, 18 from 2010 and 7 from 2011. Five have no readable crop year.

What the counts show

Reviews, out of 230, that mention each word (plural forms count):

Descriptor	Reviews	Earliest crop in the set
chocolate	120	January 2008
floral	89	January 2008
caramel	63	January 2008
strawberry	17	January 2008
mango	14	January 2008
passion fruit	12	January 2008
blueberry	7	March 2008
raspberry	4	May 2008
lychee	3	January 2008
bubblegum	0	none
yogurt	0	none

The first strawberry example is a January 2008 review of a Colombian coffee, which describes “a jammy sweetness to it (strawberry preserves)”.

What this does not show

It is one retailer’s wording. Other sellers and roasters write differently.
“First in this set” is not “first ever”. The set starts with 2008 crops, so a word that appears in 2008 may be older.
A descriptor in a review says nothing about how a coffee was grown or processed. A reviewer may also use a word as a comparison (“like strawberry”) rather than a taste.
230 reviews is small. Rare words such as lychee rest on three reviews.

How I built it

I matched whole words. I excluded “cherry” when it meant the fruit of the coffee plant, and “honey” when it meant a processing method. The tool shows short snippets (20 words or fewer) and links back to the archived pages. It doesn’t republish the reviews.

If you find a descriptor in this set that I miscounted, open an issue on the repository.
