Blind Assessment
Rich, intensely floral, fruit-toned. Lilac, dried apricot, baking chocolate, frankincense, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Lively, sweet-tart structure with vibrant acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The resonant finish centers around crisp citrus and sweet floral tones, deepened by notes of baking chocolate.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopia landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. 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 nuanced, richly aromatic natural-processed Ethiopia with juicy acidity and deep chocolate suggestions.
