Coko is a small cooperative in an area between two much larger and well-known coffee mills: Musasa and Rushashi. The washing station is set at 2000 meters, with coffee coming from around 1800 up to 2100 meters in the surrounding area.They are using a Colombian machine-washer rather than traditional fermentation and getting great results in terms of cup quality. This processing allowed them to start an independent cooperative on a site with little water resources.

Coko is a beautiful cup from Rwanda that highlights the best attributes found in Rwanda coffees. The dry fragrance is floral with citric mandarin orange brightness. The floral and citrus show more of a lemon verbena scent on the wet aroma, with clove, vanilla. The warm cup has a defined clove finish that’s a much stronger floral clove as cools. The body and mouthfeel are clear yet creamy which supports some melon flavors in the cool cup really well.
