Blind Assessment
Elegantly fruit-toned, chocolaty. Dried mulberry, dark chocolate, ginseng, pink grapefruit zest, frankincense in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with rich, engaging acidity; plush, silky mouthfeel. Chocolate- and fruit-driven finish.
Notes
Produced at Zhuo-Wu Farm in Alishan entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica and processed by the natural method, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with washed coffees. 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 rare and exceptional Taiwan-grown Geisha centered around notes of dried berry, deep chocolate and an enticing frankincense.
