Acidity
Not what one would believe...in terms of coffee, the term acidity is a positive term relating to the lively, sparkling, palate-cleansing quality present in all high-grown coffees, at least to a certain extent.

Some coffees are higher in acidity than others. . . Kenya AA is known for it's "brightness" of flavor; i.e., high acidity. The Sumatras are just the opposite. Be aware that this reference to acidity has no correlation to pH factors.
