Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Expressive, invitingly nuanced, lyrical. Guava, dark chocolate, star jasmine, amber, candied pink grapefruit zest in aroma and small cup. Lively, viscous mouthfeel; balanced, floral, fruity finish. In cappuccino format, voluptuous, rich, deep-toned.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp 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.

Bottom Line
A beautiful, harmonious washed-process single-origin Ethiopia espresso that excels both in the straight shot and in milk. Dessert-like in cappuccino format.
