Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Richly aromatic, deeply fruit-toned. Dried apricot, sandalwood, narcissus, almond, dark chocolate in aroma and small cup. Viscous, syrupy mouthfeel; quiet, cleanly fruit-centered finish. In cappuccino-scaled milk, apricot and narcissus notes particularly please.
Notes
Processed by the red honey method, meaning that some fruit flesh or “honey” was allowed to adhere to the beans during 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 cleanly fruit-forward Costa Rica coffee roasted for espresso, with notes of dried stone fruit, dark chocolate, and spice-toned florals.
