This coffee is from the Reko community in Yirgacheffe's Kochere woreda in Ethiopia, processed at the Aricha washing station. Around five hundred farmers from the Reko mountain area bring their cherries to this station, which uniquely traces coffee back to the specific community. The varieties grown include Kurume, regional landraces, and disease-resistant JARC varietals. This washed coffee presents bright acidity with complex flavors of candied lemon, raspberry, black tea, honey, and ripe berry with floral notes of hibiscus and rose hip.
