Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Cleanly fruit-toned, deep, complex. Pomegranate, narcissus, lemon-thyme, chocolate fudge, sandalwood in aroma and small cup. Creamy mouthfeel; richly chocolaty finish with undertones of sandalwood. The milk shot is chocolaty through and through, fudge-like in its depth, complicated by sweet-tart pomegranate notes.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive traditional Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a dry-processed or “natural” version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. 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 single-origin, natural-processed Ethiopia espresso with a lush sweet-tartness and a deep chocolaty throughline.
