Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Balanced, deep, richly floral- and fruit-toned. Hyacinth, mulberry, cocoa nib, almond butter, lemon-thyme in aroma and small cup. Crisp, syrupy mouthfeel; berry-driven, nutty finish. Harmonious and integrated in cappuccino-scaled milk, with berry and floral notes dancing at the top.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers entirely of the Pacas variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit) at San Vicente Washing Station. 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
An elegant, bright, balanced Pacas natural espresso that is as compelling in the straight shot as it is in milk. A unique Honduras profile.
