Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory. Passionfruit, dark chocolate, hop flowers, almond butter, wine barrel in aroma and cup. Deep sweet-savory structure with wine-like acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Crisp, richly fruit-toned finish with a throughline of dark chocolate.
Notes
Produced from trees of the celebrated Ethiopia-derived botanical variety Geisha (also spelled Gesha). “Black” refers to a proprietary method of drying and fruit removal developed by innovative boutique exporter/importer Ninety Plus Coffee. 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
An intentionally ferment-toned Geisha cup with exquisite balance: notes of passionfruit on the sweet end of the spectrum and hops on the savory, with dark chocolate running through the whole.
