This organic Ethiopian coffee from Kayon Mountain Farm represents everything we love about washed Ethiopian coffees: brilliant clarity, vibrant acidity, and a floral complexity that dances across the palate. Owned by Ismael Hassen Aredo and his family since 2012, the 500-hectare farm sits in one of Ethiopia's most celebrated coffee-growing regions, where meticulous processing and ethical labor practices yield exceptional lots year after year.
What sets Kayon Mountain apart is the family's commitment to both quality and community. Ismael pays premium wages to attract skilled seasonal pickers who return annually, ensuring only the ripest cherries make it to processing. The same-day depulping, careful 24–36 hour fermentation, and extended 12–20 day drying on raised beds create a cup that's both clean and expressive—a hallmark of Ethiopia's washed coffee tradition.
Tasting Notes
Expect bright citrus—think bergamot and Meyer lemon—layered with delicate jasmine and honeysuckle florals. The body is silky and tea-like, with a crisp, refreshing acidity that never overwhelms. The finish lingers with subtle stone fruit sweetness and a hint of black tea. This is a coffee that reveals new dimensions as it cools, making it perfect for slow, contemplative mornings.
Brew Methods
This coffee shines brightest in methods that highlight its clarity and floral notes. Pour over devices like the V60 or Chemex will showcase its delicate complexity, while a well-dialed AeroPress brings forward the citrus brightness. It also excels as a cold brew, where the extended extraction time amplifies its natural sweetness and floral aromatics. While it can be pulled as espresso, we recommend filter methods to fully appreciate its nuanced character.
