@Cup I'd like you to review a Swedish roaster. You could get a bag from @BudinNYC #koppicoffee or #dropcoffee

You're always in for a treat tasting a washed Ethiopian from @ghowellcoffee - and the Reko is certainly no exception!
Overall impression: Beautiful green well roasted. A refined, nuanced and well balanced cup - 88.6

Negative: Touch straw in aroma. While the quality of the body was very nice it was a bit lacking
Positive: Mandarin orange, floral - violet, browning sugars on the nose. Stone fruit, cocoa and raspberry, ceylon tea finish. Silky body.

As always, these cupping notes/scores are from a blind cupping. The coffee reviewed this week is @ghowellcoffee's Ethiopian - Reko.

This is a really stellar coffee. Any amazing demonstration of terroir and variety being distinct yet balanced in the cup. @coffeeshrub
Positive: Floral, white peach. Milk chocolate, honey, vanilla, butter, cardamom. Incredibly complex. Negative: none.

I plan to post reviews of coffees roasted by other roasters here. This first post, however, will be a review from a sample from @coffeeshrub
If there is any coffee you would like to see thrown into this social media mess let me know and I'll try to make it happen.
