Blind Assessment
Vibrantly sweet-tart, citrusy. Meyer lemon zest, cocoa nib, lilac, pomegranate, cedar in aroma and cup. Balanced, vibrant acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned citrus notes lead in the long finish.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Processed by the traditional washed method, in which skin and fruit flesh are removed from the beans 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
Rich-toned, cocoa- and citrus-driven, this washed Ethiopia also has especially high-toned acidity.
