The Kayon Mountain Coffee Farm is 500 hectares with about 300 hectares planted in coffee and has been owned and operated by Ismael Hassen Aredo and his family since 2012. It is located 510 kilometers south of Addis Ababa, and the property crosses the border of two villages—Taro and Sewana—located in the Oromia region, in the Guji zone of the Shakiso district of Ethiopia.
Ismael oversees a staff of 25 permanent full-time and 300 seasonal employees, and the farm management offers free transportation services as well as financial support for building schools and administration buildings for the community. The farm competes with a nearby mining village for seasonal workers, so Ismael and his family tend to pay higher wages to their pickers in order to incentivize them returning year after year.
Kayon Mountain farm has a nursery on-site and utilizes shade (acacia and other indigenous trees) to protect the coffee as well as for creating compost to fertilize naturally. Ismael is meticulous about not only the structure and management of the farm itself but also the harvesting and processing. Both Natural and Washed lots are produced on the property.
For this washed lot, after hand-harvesting, cherries are de-pulped and fermented in small batches. Following a careful wash, they’re slow-dried on raised beds for two to three weeks. The extended drying time helps maintain the integrity of parchment and preserve the coffee’s vibrant flavor. Once fully dry, the team hand-sorts, removing any defects, to ensure unparalleled quality.
The resulting cup is vibrant and sweet with delicate body and floral undertones. It is distinctly Ethiopian and showcases the complexity and allure that make this one of ,if not the most, sought-after coffee origins in the world.

In order to balance getting your coffee out to you as quickly as possible with freshness of roast we ship all coffee as ordered within one week of the roast date.

In our experience most coffees taste best after at least a few days' rest, and high-quality coffees stay at peak flavor up to six weeks post roast.
