Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Rich-toned, deeply sweet-savory. Black currant, pomegranate, hop flowers, dark chocolate, magnolia, cedar in aroma and small cup. Crisp, lightly satiny mouthfeel; intense, concentrated finish rife with notes of black currant, magnolia and dark chocolate. In cappuccino format, dark chocolate notes are amplified, as are magnolia and black currant.

Notes

Produced at Nyeri Hill Estate, from trees of the SL28, SL34 and Riuru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). 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 satisfyingly rich, deep-toned, classic Kenya espresso, equally compelling in both the straight shot and in cappuccino format.
