Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Deep-toned, chocolaty and rich. Chocolate fudge, black cherry, gardenia, hop flowers, gently scorched cedar in aroma and small cup. Creamy, viscous mouthfeel; chocolaty, aromatic finish with rich cedar notes. Decadently dessert-like in cappuccino-scaled milk with notes of chocolate fudge, black cherry and gardenia, all enveloped in an appealing, very subtle smokiness.
Notes
Produced at Top Hill Farm, from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method. GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan that offers both retail and wholesale coffee. For more information, visit www.gkcoffee.com.tw or email [email protected].
Bottom Line
A deftly roasted darker Kenya espresso with classic sweet (black cherry, chocolate fudge) and savory (hop flowers) notes — deep, rich and inviting.
