Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory. Salted caramel, tamarind, hazelnut, freesia, green peppercorn in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The lingering finish leads with salted caramel and tamarind.
Notes
Produced by YuChin Kao of Kanon Estate, from trees of the SL34 variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). 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 umami undercurrent complicates this otherwise juicy-sweet SL34 produced in Taiwan.
