Coffee Description
Lavender and jasmine fragrances swirl champagne-like with kiwi and key lime, then waltz into sparkly blueberry lemonade, strawberry, and black tea flavor notes. Caramelized, with a sweet and delicate acidity and rounded body. Exemplary.

About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
If there was such a thing as “limited edition” in coffee, this double-washed lot would qualify. A pre-processing wash by a trained team removes less dense beans, allowing the most flavorful ones to remain. The “floaters” are sold locally, bringing a respectable price, and this extra step yields a higher grade of specialty coffee, bringing better prices than if floaters were included.
97 full-time employees work at the mill, where the yellow plastic used to wrap drying coffee contrasts with bright green hills and a sky of cerulean blue. This year, Reko’s specialty coffee earned a Q1 grading from the Ethiopian government, a stellar honor.
