Kayon Mountain Coffee Farm is situated 510 kilometers south of Addis Ababa and spans 500 hectares, with 300 hectares dedicated to coffee cultivation. The farm straddles the villages of Taro and Sewana in the Oromia region's Guji zone within Ethiopia's Shakiso district.
Ismael Hassen Aredo and his family have owned and managed the farm since 2012. Ismael oversees a team of 25 permanent full-time employees and 300 seasonal workers. The farm provides free transportation services and contributes to the construction of schools and administration buildings for the local community. To attract seasonal workers, who are also sought after by a neighboring mining village, Ismael offers competitive wages to encourage their return year after year.
Kayon Mountain farm boasts an on-site nursery and employs shade trees like acacia for coffee protection and compost production. Ismael prioritizes meticulous farm management, from cultivation to processing, resulting in the production of both Natural and Washed coffee lots on the property.
This years Kayon Mountain lot is very juicy and complex and makes a super enjoyable espresso or filter option.
