Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Complex, multilayered, cerebral. Dark chocolate, petrichor, ripe pluot, tiger lily, pink peppercorn in aroma and small cup. Lush, syrupy mouthfeel; crisp, rich-toned finish. Layers of aroma and flavor in three parts milk, from sweet pluot and dark chocolate to spice-toned tiger lily and pink peppercorn in the finish.

Notes

A blend of three coffees — a washed Guatemala, a washed Colombia, and a natural-processed Ethiopia — roasted for espresso. 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

Heady, nuanced, deep — the shot in milk, in particular, is enchantingly sweet, enigmatically savory, integrated and harmonious.
