Blind Assessment
Delicately sweet-tart, floral-toned. Dried apricot, narcissus, pistachio, tangerine, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet-tart structure with gently bright acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Tart-leaning finish leads with notes of dried apricot and tangerine, with undertones of oak and pistachio.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in their respective regions. This is a natural-processed coffee (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 citrusy, stone fruit-driven natural-processed Ethiopia that’s invigoratingly tart, with ballast from rich nut tones.
