Blind Assessment

Richly floral, vibrantly layered. Star jasmine, cocoa nib, peach, myrrh, Meyer lemon zest in aroma and cup. Juicy-tart, balanced acidity; silky, energetic mouthfeel. Long, resonant finish that makes good on the promise of the cup.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia produces distinctive coffees from largely indigenous, traditional selections of Arabica long grown in the region. Coffees like this one, processed by the traditional wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp is removed before drying), typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity. 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 Ethiopia cup: floral-toned, stone fruit-driven with a cocoa nib throughline, sweet citrus and resiny myrrh-like underpinnings.
