Blind Assessment
Sweetly tart, fruit-driven and floral. Tangerine zest, tamarind, chocolate fudge, agave syrup, sandalwood in aroma and small cup. Plush, syrupy mouthfeel; chocolaty, tart-fruit finish. Bright, balanced and juicy in cappuccino-scaled milk.
Notes
Evaluated as espresso. A blend of Catuai and Bourbon varieties of Arabica produced by Finca El General in Acatenango, Guatemala and 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 complex, richly bittersweet single-origin natural-process Guatemala espresso with deep chocolate and tart fruit notes and undertones of aromatic wood redolent of sandalwood.
