Blind Assessment

Richly sweet, cocoa-driven and crisply fruity. Concord grape, dark chocolate, plumeria, marjoram, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with bright, juicy acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The resonant, flavor-saturated finish leads with fruit and chocolate suggestions.

Notes

Produced from trees of the admired Ethiopia-derived botanical variety Gesha (also Geisha). With its generally elongated beans and distinctive floral and crisp, often chocolaty cup, the Gesha variety continues to distinguish itself as one of the world’s most unique coffees. Although the Gesha variety originated in Ethiopia, it was “discovered” by the coffee world in 2004 growing in Boquete, Panama, and Panama continues to dominate the expanding world of Gesha. This particular version, however, is the outcome of efforts to commercialize Gesha in the region from which it originally came. Processed by the dried-in-the-fruit or natural method. 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

An impeccably composed natural-processed Ethiopia Geisha that leads with decadently sweet tropical fruit supported by rich chocolate and spicy-sweet florals.
