Blind Assessment
Deeply savory, richly sweet, quite bright. Tamarind, dark chocolate, green tomato, marjoram, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly savory structure with juicy, high-toned acidity; crisp, lightly satiny mouthfeel. The very long, complex finish is savory-leaning and rich.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers and processed by the washed method (fruit skiing and pulp removed before drying). 1980 Cafe is a Tainan City, Taiwan-based specialty coffee roaster. Visit www.1980cafetw.com for more information.
Bottom Line
For those who prefer a savory, herbaceous Kenya, this one fits the bill with notes of juicy green tomato and tamarind, supported by lush dark chocolate notes.
