It has been a long time since we released a Natural-processed Ethiopian coffee. We, through our friends at Trabocca (importer), have brought in this coffee in very small quantities. It is a pleasure to share it and also to taste the iconic natural profile from Yirgacheffe. Reko is one of the best selections that comes through the Aricha washing station. It is a very clean natural because the cherries are laid in thin layers and left to slowly dry on raised African beds. This keeps good airflow and minimises bad fermentation happening.
