Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-tart, fruit-forward. Dried strawberry, dark chocolate, almond brittle, lemon thyme, cedar in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet with juicy acidity; creamy-smooth mouthfeel. Resonant finish, flavor-laden well into the long.
Notes
Coffees like this one from the celebrated Yirgacheffe region 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 Cafe 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
Confidently fruit-toned, this natural-processed Ethiopia impresses with great depth and complexity.
