The start of a new year makes you want to stand up a little taller than usual.
Before the tea has taken on any color, the fragrance rising from the cup will gently soothe your mind.
REC COFFEE's New Year Blend is a perfect cup to kick off the new year, made with luxurious coffees not normally used in blends, and is crafted with the idea of a once-in-a-lifetime experience to create a "taste that can only be found that year."
Enjoy a little more luxurious time than usual Please enjoy our New Year's Blend again this year.
CONCEPT
The 2026 New Year Blend has a bright and vibrant impression, with a deep sweetness and supple texture, resulting in a luxurious and rich finish.
We have created a blend that will slowly accompany you as you celebrate the start of a new year.
TASTE
This New Year's Blend has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and a pleasant syrupy and soft texture.
When warm, it gives off a gentle, elegant impression like peach tea, and as it cools, the sweet and sour taste reminiscent of plums gradually becomes more clearly evident.
This drink changes its character over time, leaving a lingering honey-like sweetness to the very end.
Used in New Year Blend beans
Guatemala / Freewashed
The Guatemalan Free Washed acts as a balancer, bringing together the individual characteristics of the other three beans. .
Sidama, Ethiopia / Washed
This washed Ethiopian Sidama coffee has a vibrant, bright acidity, yet also has a fruity sweetness to it. It gives off a sparkling acidity.

How to enjoy New Year Blend
This time, we spoke to Yanagitani, a barista at the Tenjin One Building store in Tenjin, Fukuoka, which opened in April this year, about her unique way of enjoying coffee.
We will bring you a combination that will allow you to enjoy the charm of this special time, perfect for welcoming the New Year!
A luxurious dish that can only be enjoyed now
Drip coffee and seasonal baked goods "Black Fig Tart"
By making drip coffee using the New Year Blend, you can enjoy a warm and comforting aroma reminiscent of peach tea and orange.
The perfect pairing is the seasonal baked confectionery "Black Fig Tart" served at Reck Coffee.
The deep, rich sweetness of the fig complements the aroma of the other fruit, further enhancing each other's flavor.
We use Violet Sollies from Tomita Farm, which is also known as the "mysterious black fig," and are characterized by their strong sweetness, rich and sticky texture, and thin skin.
This luxurious dish is made with an almond tart filled with beautifully baked black figs, skin on, and finished with a generous amount of red wine and black fig jam.
As the temperature drops, the coffee takes on a syrup- or honey-like texture and becomes softer on the palate.
When enjoyed with the tart, the flavors of red wine and black fig jam spread softly in your mouth, elevating your coffee time into a special dessert experience.
It's also delicious as a hot tart, so why not take it out and reheat it a little at home and enjoy it?
Lastly, what I love most about coffee is the connection it brings to people.
In the midst of a busy everyday life, there is time to stop and have a drink.
I feel like the taste of coffee changes just by having someone next to it or a face that comes to mind.
The New Year Blend is a drink that allows you to enjoy such moments at your own pace.
I hope it will be a great addition to the start of the year and to your time with loved ones.
