Blind Assessment

Deep-toned, chocolaty and floral. Dark chocolate, narcissus, gently scorched cedar, almond, date in aroma and cup. Gentle, round acidity; plush, creamy mouthfeel. Chocolaty, floral-toned finish supported by sweetly smoky cedar notes.

Notes

Produced by smallholding members of the Kibugu Farmer's Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan, that offers both retail and wholesale coffee. For more information, visit www.gkcoffee.com.tw or email [email protected].

Bottom Line

A deftly roasted darker profile with rich chocolate and invitingly smoky cedar notes — it would not be a sacrilege to add a bit of half-and-half, which intensifies the chocolate and floral notes.
