Blind Assessment
Cocoa-and spice-toned. Cocoa powder, black cherry, fresh-cut oak, pistachio, baking spices in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with balanced acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is nutty and cocoa-driven, supported by notes of black cherry and oak.
Notes
Produced by Omar Pimentel of Finca El Principito entirely of the Yellow Catuai variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed before beans are dried). 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
A harmonious washed Guatemala with pleasing notes of cocoa, dark stone fruit and a mélange of baking spices.
