One of our most well-known single origin offerings gets its namesake from the Reko mountain and the Reko coffee washing station located at 2,200 MASL. In the Kochere district of Yirgacheffe, Reko mountain is a tall, thin peak whose name translates to “challenge,” referring to the arduous task of summiting the cliffs. The coffee producers here have adopted its symbolic value to refer to their challenge of cultivating and processing the best coffee in the region.
The coffee here is marked by its floral, tea-like, and complex quality, grown and processed only a stone’s throw away from the world’s most unique and rare varieties. Even among world-class coffees, Reko is the sparkling gem of washed Ethiopian flavor. 2024 marks our eleventh year purchasing Reko, with this season’s lot gifting us notes of lemon candy, juicy peach, and turbinado sugar.
