Blind Assessment

Richly sweet-savory, deep-toned. Ripe tomato, cocoa nib, black currant, bay leaf, pink grapefruit zest in aroma and cup. High-toned, juicy acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Resonant finish that carries over all the aromas and flavors of the cup.

Notes

This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 12 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2023. Produced at Windrush Estate, entirely of the 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

An exhilarating, umami-driven Kenya cup with classic notes of ripe tomato, cocoa nib and sweet citrus, complicated by complex sweet herb notes.
