Blind Assessment
Floral-toned, mult-layered, balanced. Narcissus, dark chocolate, pomegranate, frankincense, in aroma and small cup. Very syrupy-smooth mouthfeel; rich, harmonious, elongated finish. Exceptionally complex in three parts milk, where narcissus and dark chocolate notes commingle with pomegranate and frankincense.
Notes
This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 5 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2023. Evaluated as espresso. Produced by Finca El Mirador, entirely of the Gesha variety 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
A divinely floral-toned, chocolaty single-origin El Salvador espresso, delicately balanced between tart fruit and sweet floral impulses.
