Blind Assessment

Bright, high-toned, crisply sweet-tart. Passionfruit, pink peppercorn, dark chocolate, kumquat, oregano in aroma and cup. Malic (apple-like) acidity; crisp, lightly satiny mouthfeel. Lingering, flavor-laden finish is complex and multilayered.

Notes

Produced by Valerio Almanza Ccahua of Buena Vista Farm, entirely of the SL-09 variety 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 lesser-known Peru variety of Arabica — balanced, bright, richly aromatic, deeply chocolaty and enticingly energetic.
