Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Deeply sweet-savory, richly aromatic. Date, pipe tobacco, amber, pistachio, rhododendron in aroma and small cup. Strupy-smooth mouthfeel; complex, harmonious finish. Pipe tobacco and amber commingle nicely in three parts milk, with rhododendron undertones.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of the rare Onan Ganjang variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional Sumatra washed and wet-hulled method. 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 earthy-savory, richly perfumed Sumatra with especially pretty nut and floral tones throughout — ethereal in cappuccino format.
