Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Spice-toned, brightly herbal. Red plum, star jasmine, sandalwood, coriander, molasses in aroma and small cup. Plush, satiny mouthfeel; stonefruit-driven finish with molasses and coriander undertones. In cappuccino format, exceptionally sweet and complex, with a sandalwood-framed jasmine at the vibrant center.

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 lively and richly aromatic Peru espresso, this washed cup offers a floral, sweetly herbaceous profile with rich fruit notes and a sandalwood and molasses backdrop.
