Blind Assessment
Deeply sweet-savory, richly aromatic. Red currant jam, honeysuckle, sandalwood, brown sugar, marjoram in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with savory underpinnings; vivacious, juicy acidity. The finish centers on notes of red currant and sandalwood.
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 classic Kenya cup: bright and juicy with leading notes of dark berry and sweet florals; especially high-toned, lively acidity.
