china kaku is a washed coffee from yunnan, china, roasted by dark woods coffee ltd. the washed process strips the cherry cleanly before drying, which tends to highlight clarity and acidity, and that shows here: expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest upfront, with a winey quality adding some depth, and milk chocolate and dark chocolate rounding out the finish. it suits filter brewing, where the cleaner flavour profile can express itself without being flattened by pressure. grind fresh, use water around 92 to 96 degrees, and give it a slow pour to let the citrus brightness come through.

about dark woods coffee ltd
