Blind Assessment

High-toned, richly sweet-savory. Plum, tangerine, narcissus, cedar, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Vibrant structure with balanced, juicy acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. The resonant finish consolidates to notes of plum and tangerine supported by maple syrup suggestions.

Notes

Coffees like this one from the Yirgacheffe growing region are largely produced from selections of traditional Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a wet-processed or “washed” version (fruit skin and flesh are removed before drying). Kakalove Café is a nano-roaster located in the small city of Chia-Yi in Taiwan that strives to procure and roast the finest quality coffee. Visit www.kakalovecafe.com.tw or email [email protected] for more information.

Bottom Line

A juicy, citrus- and floral-toned washed Ethiopia as deep as it is bright.
