Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory, multi-layered, deeply floral. Honeysuckle, red currant, ripe tomato, cedar, dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Balanced, bittersweet structure with bright, juicy acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Chocolate-driven finish with undertones of honeysuckle and red currant.
Notes
Gichathaini is one of three washing stations of the Gikanda Farmers’ Cooperative Society, which is owned by the 897 smallholding members. 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 classic Kenya cup with notes of red fruit, sweet florals, and a hint of pleasing umami (think sweet ripe tomato).
