Guji Kayon Mt. Farm Natural – 200gr

Taste Expression: Stone Fruit / Orange / Black Tea

Kayon Mountain Farm sits far away, about 510 kilometers south of Addis Ababa, where two villages meet—Taro and Sewana. The farm spreads across 500 hectares, with coffee planted across most of it. It’s been in the hands of Ismael Hassen Aredo and his family since 2012. A massive estate, in short.

Soft slopes. Red soil. High temperature shift from day to night. The kind of place where flavour and sweetness slowly show up.

The farm grows under the shade of acacia trees and indigenous forest cover. A nursery on-site. Compost made from what the land gives back. Just growth cycles.

Cherries are picked, rinsed, sorted, and laid on African drying beds. Then time does the rest. Twelve days, sometimes twenty. Depending on the weather.

This Guji Shakiso natural coffee tastes like the way this kind of place feels. Complexity with medium acidity of stone fruits, like white peach, and a little citrus. Soft and red fruit, in short. Mellowy, nothing too sharp or heavy. And then sweetness comes naturally like a close friend.

Just like any Ethiopian beans you already have. It’s not a coffee that tries to be memorable. It just stays with you from time to time.
