Blind Assessment
Sweet-savory, richly layered, complex. Tamarind, tangerine zest, Nutella, black sage, myrrh in aroma and cup. Savory-sweet structure with citrusy acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Long, satisfying finish driven by tart fruit, citrus zest and dark chocolate impulses.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Gititu Farmers’ Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL-28, SL-34 and Ruiru 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 spot-on and thrilling classic Kenya: bright, juicy, crisply chocolaty, and richly sweet.
