LIGHT ROAST

10oz whole bean coffee

Natural Process

Flavor
Clean, bright, fruity and sweet! Ripe stone fruit, citrus & floral notes with chocolate tones as the cup cools. If brewed just right, this is an absolute fruit bomb!

*THIS ONE REQUIRES A LONG REST AFTER ROASTING TO ACHIEVE THE BEST FLAVOR. GIVE IT AT LEAST 2 WEEKS, AND UP TO A MONTH - IF YOU CAN WAIT THAT LONG, YOU WILL BE REWARED!

Info
The Kayon Mountain coffee farm sits high in the lush hills of southern Ethiopia, about 510 kilometers from Addis Ababa, right where the villages of Taro and Sewana meet in the Guji zone’s Shakiso district. The farm covers roughly 500 hectares, with about 300 hectares planted in coffee - an expansive, green patchwork of trees that produce some seriously memorable cups.

The farm has been owned and run by Ismael Hassen Aredo and his family since 2012. Ismael manages a team of about 25 full-time staff along with nearly 300 seasonal workers during harvest. Because a nearby mining town competes for labor, Ismael makes a point of paying higher wages to pickers so they’ll return year after year - a move that benefits both the workers and the quality of the harvest.

Kayon Mountain is also deeply connected to its local community. The farm provides free transportation for workers and helps fund the construction of schools and administrative buildings in nearby villages. It’s the kind of operation where great coffee and community support go hand in hand.
