Blind Assessment

Richly aromatic, sweetly tart, deeply savory. Lilac, dark chocolate, lemon drop, pink grapefruit zest, shiitake mushroom in aroma and cup. Harmonious sweet-tart-savory structure; lyrical, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The flavor-saturated finish leads with citrus notes (lemon drop, pink grapefruit zest) in the short, rounding to deep chocolate and sweet mushroom notes in the long.

Notes

Guji is nestled next to Ethiopia's better-known Yirgacheffe and Sidamo growing regions. This is a “natural” or dry-processed coffee (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 multi-layered, floral-inclined natural-processed Ethiopia cup with an umami undercurrent: a trifecta of sweet, tart, savory impulses.
