Blind Assessment
Richly fruity, complex. Wild strawberry, cocoa nib, lemon balm, wisteria, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with bright, vibrant acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Long, lingering finish centers around notes of wild strawberry and wisteria supported by gentle sandalwood.
Notes
This outstanding coffee was selected as the No. 21 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024. Produced by Ming Yang Yuan, entirely of the Gesha variety of Arabica, and processed by the honey method (some fruit flesh is left on the beans during the drying process). 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 aromatic, deep-toned, confident natural-processed Taiwan driven by notes of wild berries, complex florals, and nuanced aromatic wood notes.
