Blind Assessment
Crisp, vibrantly sweet. Wild honey, dried apricot, cocoa nib, pink grapefruit zest, wisteria in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with brisk acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned finish with notes of dried apricot and pink grapefruit zest.
Notes
Produced at Finca La Rivense’s La Guaca Estate, from trees of the Red Catuai variety of Arabica, and processed by the honey method (coffee fruit is pulped or skinned but dried in the fruit flesh). Kapi Dow is a small specialty coffee roaster in Taichung, Taiwan. Visit the Kapi Dow Instagram page for more information.
Bottom Line
Intensely sweet and fruit-focused, with ballast from crisp cocoa nib and lift from bittersweet citrus notes.
