Blind Assessment

Gently aromatic, multi-layered. Candycap mushroom, rhododendron, lilac, cocoa nib, lychee in aroma and cup. Even-keeled, juicy acidity; very full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Umami finish akin to candycap mushroom with pleasing undertones of cocoa nib.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, from local heirloom 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

This confident and restrained washed Ethiopia is a special Kakalove lot named after a teammate, Taco, and it’s uniquely composed: delicately sweet-savory, enigmatic, exciting.
