Blind Assessment
Richly aromatic, fruit-forward. Mulberry, almond nougat, lemon verbena, cocoa nib, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with juicy acidity; lightly satiny mouthfeel. Crisp, fruity, cocoa-toned finish.
Notes
Produced from trees of the rare Ethiopia-derived botanical variety Gesha (also Geisha) by Adam and Rachel Overton. 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. This particular version, however, is the outcome of efforts to commercialize Gesha in the region from which it originally came. It is processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). 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 confident, fruit-driven, cocoa-toned natural Ethiopia Gesha cup with especially bright acidity.
