Blind Assessment
Savory-sweet, richly spiced-toned. Black currant, lavender, brown butter, pink pepper, licorice in aroma and cup. Juicy, wine-like structure with complex, layered acidity; round, silky-smooth mouthfeel. The finish leads with black currant and licorice notes, complicated by spice-toned florals.
Notes
Produced at Nyeri Hill Estate, from trees of the SL34, SL28 and Ruiru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional 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 dynamic Kenya cup that balances savory spice with deep fruit notes and has an especially wine-like structure.
