“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.”

We’ve got another fun, extremely limited release from Forest Coffee. Rocket Flower is sweet and floral and the dry fragrance..wow.

“The process of the Rocket Flower coffee from El Paseo farm in Nariño begins with the careful selection of ripe Caturra cherries, ensuring exceptional quality. The cherries undergo a 36-hour pre-fermentation in cherry, followed by a floating and disinfection process using sea salt at 2% of the total water in the hopper. The beans are then subjected to anaerobic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with regulated relief valves. After moving to a second hopper and being pulped, leachates are collected and 200 liters are used per fermentation tank with the additions of enzymes to promote an specific floral profile. Each tank, holding up to 2,800 kilos of coffee, ferments the coffee for 6 days, developing a complex flavor profile. The beans are then mechanically dried in a silo for 2-3 days at temperatures below 38 degrees, ensuring ideal moisture levels. A 15-day stabilization period follows, guaranteeing the consistency and quality of the coffee. This meticulous process results in a flavor profile rich with notes of lemongrass, citric acid, citrus, cocoa, coffee blossom, floral, orange, and sweet aromatics, making Rocket Flower coffee a standout selection.

Huver is a third-generation coffee grower, but his close relationship with coffee is recent. Until a few years ago (before 2015), he was a math teacher at a school in Nariño. The farm El Paseo is located near Buesaco, on the Suma Paz trail. This family farm is where Huver has had the opportunity to work alongside his father. El Paseo has been in the family for over 20 years and is one of three farms they own. It is a beautiful farm with an altitude range of 1750 meters to 1950 meters, featuring several native shade trees and situated on the slopes overlooking the valley of Buesaco.” - Forest Coffeen

Ope. Kayon Mountain again. Always a punchy coffee. We’ve got a few bags, so grab it while you can. This natural is bright, with great acidity, cooked berries, and super floral.
