Blind Assessment

Richly sweet, deeply chocolaty. Milk chocolate, red currant, freesia-like flowers, cedar, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Crisp, sweetly tart structure with vibrant, juicy acidity; plush, viscous mouthfeel. The quiet finish centers around notes of milk chocolate, freesia and maple syrup.

Notes

Despite grower discontent, contested government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world’s most elegant and distinctive coffees. Like most Kenyas, a wet-processed or washed coffee  (fruit skin and pulp are 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 richly chocolaty Kenya cup with deep floral notes throughout and a particularly lively, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel.
