Blind Assessment
Sweetly bright, richly savory. Narcissus, pink grapefruit zest, ripe blackberry, cocoa nib, salted caramel in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory, complex structure with juicy acidity; plush, very syrupy mouthfeel. Narcissus and salted caramel notes lead in the long, resonant finish.
Notes
Despite grower discontent and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, Kenya continues to produce some of the world’s most elegant and distinctive coffees. 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 superb version of the beloved Kenya cup with deep berry and bittersweet citrus supported by an umami, salted-caramel throughline.
