This stunning natural-process coffee comes from Kayon Mountain Farm in Ethiopia's Guji zone, where Ismael Hassen and his family have been cultivating organic coffee since 2012. Spread across 240 hectares of sandy, clay loam soil in the southern Oromia region, this farm represents the new generation of Ethiopian coffee excellence—moving Guji from Yirgacheffe's shadow into its own celebrated spotlight. Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters brings out the best in these naturally shade-grown beans, showcasing everything that makes natural processing so captivating.
Tasting Notes
Expect an explosion of ripe berries—blueberry and strawberry—balanced by deep chocolate undertones and a subtle winey complexity. The body is luxuriously syrupy, coating your palate with sweetness that lingers long after the cup cools. There's a gentle, fruity acidity that brightens rather than dominates, letting those jammy fruit notes shine. The finish is clean despite the richness, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and dried fruit.
Brew Methods
This coffee performs beautifully across multiple brew methods. As pour-over (V60, Chemex), it showcases its fruit-forward brightness and clarity, letting you taste the careful processing work that went into those drying beds. French press amplifies the syrupy body and chocolate notes, creating an almost dessert-like experience. For espresso, it pulls sweet and complex shots with berry jam characteristics—stunning in milk drinks where the fruit plays against creamy sweetness. Cold brew brings out incredible berry sweetness with wine-like complexity.
About Natural Processing
Natural processing means these cherries were picked at peak ripeness, rinsed, sorted, and dried whole on raised beds for 12-20 days, allowing the fruit to impart its character directly into the bean. This method intensifies fruit flavors and creates that signature syrupy body—it's why natural Ethiopians taste so distinctly different from their washed counterparts. The Kayon Mountain team's meticulous sorting and careful drying preserve the coffee's clean, vibrant character while building complexity.
