Blind Assessment
Sweetly floral, tea-like. Lemon blossom, honey, nectarine, cocoa nib, rooibos in aroma and cup. Round, vibrant acidity; plush, syrupy body. The finish is long and lingering with citrus and floral notes.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Imported by Pebble Coffee. 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 darker-roasted washed Ethiopia that emphasizes elegance and balance, delivering floral charm and sweet citrus clarity with a rich cocoa nib throughline.
