Blind Assessment

Richly aromatic, delicately fruit-forward. Dried persimmon, cocoa nib, tangerine zest, shiitake mushroom, carnation in aroma and cup. Savory-sweet with deep, fruit-toned acidity; lively, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to persimmon and cocoa nib with an attractive hint of shiitake mushroom.

Notes

Guji is nestled next to the better-known Yirgacheffe and Sidamo growing regions; it shares their devotion to the distinctive, largely indigenous varieties of Arabica long grown in these regions. This is a “natural” or dry-processed version (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

Elegantly juxtaposes intriguing savory depth suggesting earthy sweet mushrooms with sweet dry persimmon and zesty citrus notes.
