Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Delicately fruit-toned, floral and lively. Lilac, dried Bing cherry, sandalwood, macadamia nut, wild honey in aroma and small cup. Full, syrupy mouthfeel; delicate, long finish. Lilac and Bing cherry notes deepen in three parts milk, balanced by creamy macadamia nut and wild honey; hints of sandalwood hover in the background.

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 complex, deeply nuanced red honey espresso from Costa Rica with bright fruit and floral notes juxtaposed with subtle, integrated sandalwood impulses.
