Blind Assessment
Elegant, delicate, sweetly tart. Bergamot, yellow plum, cocoa nib, sage, candied violet in aroma and cup. Delicately sweet, balanced structure with high-toned acidity; very smooth, satiny mouthfeel. Resonant, long, flavor-laden 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
A classic washed Guji: bright, balanced, yet juicy and deep — complex and multi-layered.
