Blind Assessment
Richly fruit-forward, juicy-bright. Dried strawberry, wild honey, wisteria, pomelo, macadamia nut in aroma and cup. Vibrant, sparkling acidity; very full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Dried strawberry and macadamia notes are supported by wisteria and pomelo in the long, lush finish.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). 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.

Bottom Line
A complex natural-processed Ethiopia with notes of dried berries and richly sweet florals, front and center — the high-toned acidity complicates the profile’s lush sweetness.
