@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

@stumptowncoffee that Todd Weiler is so dreamy.
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.
